Who We Vote For and What Effect It Will Have On Our Lives

Look at the stakes in the elections for the senate seat and governor races in Georgia.

People who vote for the Republicans want no affordable healthcare, no increase in the minimum wage ($10.10-15.00 per hour), no medicaid extention, inequality and no job creation (how can the economy grow?),  Republicans want to claim family values (but can't shake the spirit of hypocrisy present in their party), higher tax breaks and loop holes for the wealthy who want to induce slave labor (getting rid of the minimum wage?) in America that will yield only two classes of people. The rich and the poor.


People who vote for Democrats want to create high paying jobs, minimum wages increase, create affordable healthcare (Obamacare) for poor people and their families,  equality, close loop holes and higher taxes on the wealthy, medicaid expansion, more gay rights who give the Democrats support in winning elections in exchange for same sex marriage laws which will (in time) destroy the traditional family of a father, a mother with children and our society... as we know it (disgusting) and voter rights protection.

Both parties playing strong to their base but more so, a significant number of voters will only vote based on what party views are like theirs. So can we still pick the lessor of the two evils? 

The only way the Republicans can win if they stop playing the hypocrite.

It's my educated opinion, the Democrats got this one.
