Companion questionnaire to accompany Democratic Platform Document

On Monday, the shieldWALL unveiled its platform for the Democratic Party to take back the House and Senate in 2018 and the White House in 2020. As a companion piece to our platform document, we have compiled the following questionnaire to make it easy for voters to better understand your position on the issues and ultimately make the right choice.

So, when any of you are out campaigning for Democratic candidates for Congress and/or the White House, please carry a supply of these questionnaires with you and present one to any Trump voter you might encounter.

Please answer the following questions with a “yes” or “no” answer:

1. Do you receive Social Security? (If yes, you shouldn’t have voted for the Republicans or Donald Trump.)

2. Do you receive Medicare or Medicaid? (If yes, you shouldn’t have voted for the Republicans or Donald Trump.)

3. Do you have health insurance under the Affordable Care Act? (If yes, you shouldn’t have voted for the Republicans or Donald Trump.)

4. Does anybody in your family use prescription drugs? (If yes, you shouldn’t have voted for the Republicans or Donald Trump.)

5. Do your children go to public schools? (If yes, you shouldn’t have voted for the Republicans or Donald Trump.)

6. Do you or any member of your family have one or more minimum wage jobs? (If yes, you shouldn’t have voted for the Republicans or Donald Trump.)

7. Could a robot do your job? (If yes, you shouldn’t have voted for the Republicans or Donald Trump.)

8. Has any rich person ever gotten a big, fat tax break but failed to “trickle down” some of the money to you? (If yes, you shouldn’t have voted for the Republicans or Donald Trump.)

9. Are you afraid that North Korea might start a nuclear war? (If yes, you shouldn’t have voted for the Republicans or Donald Trump.)

10. Do you want clean air, clean drinking water and a clean environment for you, your children and your grandchildren? (If yes, you shouldn’t have voted for the Republicans or Donald Trump.)

11. If you live near water, say, in Florida or California, would you be upset if your property slowly sunk under a rising ocean? (If yes, you shouldn’t have voted for the Republicans or Donald Trump.)

12. Are you in favor of projects that actually do create jobs, such as renewable energy and infrastructure improvements, instead of phantom jobs tied to tax breaks for the wealthy? (If yes, you shouldn’t have voted for the Republicans or Donald Trump.)

13. Are you an immigrant who would be upset if you got deported? (If yes, you shouldn’t have voted for the Republicans or Donald Trump.)

14. Are you or any member of your family in the military and still eligible to be deployed to fight overseas? (If yes, you shouldn’t have voted for the Republicans or Donald Trump.)

15. Are you a neo-Nazi or a white supremacist who wants to kill Jews, Hispanics, Asians and African Americans and turn America into an all-white, ethnically pure, radical right-wing fundamentalist Christian society? (If yes, is that why you voted for Republicans and Donald Trump?)

If you answered “yes” to any question except the last one, WTF is wrong with you, man? Are you too lazy to educate yourself on the issues so you can be a productive participant in the electoral process…or are you just plain stupid?

If most or all of these issues are important to you, voting for Republicans is a vote against your own self-interest. Why would you support a political party that wants to take away those things that you need the most … and then shove a sharp stick in your eye just for fun?  It makes me want to add a few more questions to this survey.

16. Did you ever graduate from any school or attend classes beyond the third grade?

17. Did you know there are books, magazines and other materials like the internet that explain our country’s history, the American political system and the issues in any campaign?

18. Can you even read?

If you answered “no” to the last three questions, please don’t ever vote again. Not voting will be the best thing you can do to help make America great again.
