"Reasons To Vote For Democrats" - a must read book
Review
"Thorough." (Ben Shapiro, New York Times bestselling author of Bullies)
“Michael Knowles perfectly documents what's inside the minds of Democrats. A real page-turner!” (Michelle Malkin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Sold Out)
“I read it twice!” (Dennis Prager, New York Times bestselling author of The Ten Commandments)
“Brilliantly argued! You will not find a more enlightened defense of liberalism. Ever.” (Jason Mattera, New York Times bestselling author of Obama Zombies)
“Insightful, yet remarkably easy reading!” (Guy Benson, bestselling author of End of Discussion)
"The most efficient way to learn about the issues that Democrats really care about. This is a must read." (Katie Pavlich, New York Times bestselling author of Assault and Flattery)
"The reasons to vote for Democrats can be subtle and complex, but Knowles boils them down to their essence." (Andrew Klavan, New York Times bestselling author of The Great Good Thing)
I cannot say enough about this book - I've read it myself and I highly recommend it. No other book has captured the very essence of the Democratic Party.

Having to write a guide to 'reasons' is reason enough to NOT
vote Dem.

Sure it is

I've ordered the audio version.
I especially loved the part about "Values"!
"US govt/military = bad. Russian govt/military = bad. Any politician wanting power = bad. Anyone wielding power = bad." --Shahryar

@thanatokephaloides Have y'all seen this?
Have y'all seen this? I almost posted an essay just to share it with the whole site, but what with the Syria bombing this week, thought it was too frivolous. Start it at 5:50, that's where it starts getting hilarious:
"More for Gore or the son of a drug lord--None of the above, fuck it, cut the cord."
--Zack de la Rocha
"I tell you I'll have nothing to do with the place...The roof of that hall is made of bones."
-- Fiver
thank you!
It was funny! And Jimmy's right, he and his crew ought to develop it further!

In all honesty, I did feel that accuracy would have been enhanced had the values chapter been entirely filled with dollar signs... and had the chapter on foreign policy been packed solid with dollar signs dripping with blood, oil and body parts... but it was far closer than I would have anticipated from the title and I enjoyed the video very much.
The writer is truly and concisely brilliant, particularly since any words fit to waste on the Dem Party would be unprintable.
I'd give it 4 Michelin tires and a test run over assorted DNC feet any day of the week, and higher praise I'm too tired to think of and cannot give at the moment.
Edited because I had to add forgotten 'values' - I simply don't think of these with regard to either wing of the Two-Faced Corporate Trade-Off Scam. Well, one can't really, can one?
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
What really cracks me up
and I find utterly fascinating, is the overwhelming participation of the spontaneous reviewers of this book. They continually prop up the 'angle' of this book's premise.
Too funny.
WTF?
Was there supposed to be a snark sign? Notice there's a link to Shrillary & some DNC "brain?" trust?
Le Snarque, certainment.
Yes, Caerus, this whole essay is, indeed, snark.
CB's recommended video makes that abundantly clear!

Oh yessss....
Vote for them because....
reasons!

This would be vaguely amusing were it not intended as
an attack on the left by the sorts of pinheads who imagine there is something "left-wing" about the Democrats.

If you cannot accept these facts, I cannot fake an interest in any of your opinions.
It was Hillary's campaign and the DNC who set up the target
in the first place. I would argue that the current policies and tactics as espoused by the Hillary controlled DNC "brain trust" combined with the history of the Obama administration has done more to damage the Democratic brand than anyone on the right could do.
Can anyone tell me exactly what the Democratic Party's ideals are and how they follow through in trying to implement them when they get even a half chance? When you say one thing and then do the opposite the net result is a big zero.
There is a reason why more and more people are dropping out and becoming Independents.
That's beside the point.
The point is that these assholes think you shouldn't vote for Democrats on account of the Democrats being stoopid and eebil sociamalists dedicated to taking away your jesus-given right to become a billionaire and giving it to some raghead instead.
They would hate and despise you far more than they could ever hate and despise the Democrats.

You are being too harsh about the author
Word is that he is busy writing an equally insightful book about the Republicans--a real page burner.
By the way, my favorite chapter was also the beautiful worded one on "Values".
Would have been better if at the end of the title it said,
"for Dummies".
That book is the one about why you should vote for Republicans
Thanks for the laugh.
This is by far the best part:
Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.
you do realize that quote is a snipe against the left, yes?
it's intended to belittle those troublesome liberally types who insist that businesses be held responsible when they rip people off -- like, for example, selling someone a book that isn't actually a book at all, but a one-liner ironic joke.

Just goes to prove you can't judge a book by its cover
The only people I know who buys a book without checking out what they're buying are those who can't read.
Snap!
That or popups.
We live among those with wondering minds or dementia.

maybe you need to widen your circle of acquaintances

Suggestions for the Second Edition
Here are my suggestions for chapters. I will include a summary of the contents in squiggly brackets.{}
Ch1. Access is not corruption {If you are a member of a Democratic administration or running for federal office as the apparent heir you can sell access for 10's of millions of dollars. Remember, this is just access, you are not offering the
vicsupplicant any favors, like 20% of the US uranium reserves.}Ch2. Health care is a right {}
Ch3. Regime change is out {We only offer regime elimination}
Ch4. Secular governments are for pansies {}
Ch5. Democracy within the Party system {}
Ch6. Peace {We can take aggression right up to the line, or perhaps one toke over the line}
Ch7. Our
Jingoismpatriotism is second to none.{Love it leave it, you peace-loving commie}Ch8. Foreign affairs {We'll work with any government after we have bombed them to hell. If we haven't bombed you yet it's just because we haven't gotten around to it, yet. We are Democrats, we are proud, we are strong and you are not dead...yet}
Ch9. The party of compassion {If our adversaries injure one hair on your head we will scream bloody murder. If we kill millions, well as one famous Democratic SOS said - It's well worth the price.}
Capitalism has always been the rule of the people by the oligarchs. You only have two choices, eliminate them or restrict their power.
I love it but doubt it would be a big seller
Chapters 1, 8, and 9 might require too much thought.
I would opt for the first, unadulterated version, which can be used by kids as a coloring book. Thus we can invigorate the arts amongst the tots. They would not be required to expend any intellectual effort in utilizing this book to its full potential {the pages are too coarse for toilet paper}.
Kudos to Knowles!
A totally engrossing read! Insightful, engaging, well conceived and executed! The final word on the subject! A must have for all serious voters! Pass it along to your friends, they will thank you! Three out of four thumbs up! ~ Hetrose, The Hetrose Times
I particularly found pages 72 - 75
the most enlightening and enabling.
I know it's early but I'm buying a bunch for the upcoming national and religious holidays to give to everyone I know.
Where was this prior to the election? It could have made a big difference.
Prof: Nancy! I’m going to Greece!
Nancy: And swim the English Channel?
Prof: No. No. To ancient Greece where burning Sapho stood beside the wine dark sea. Wa de do da! Nancy, I’ve invented a time machine!
