    Strange, because I was able to access the GOP party platform, both the "short version" and then the whole platform.

    https://gop.com/about-our-party/

    After having read it, I'm still sure it's not a good fit for me.

    But, at 92 pages, I'm not sure the Democratic Party platform is for me either, because I can't be bothered reading it.

    Edited.

    I wonder if I need to clear cookies and try it again.

    I cleared cookies, and this time it did lead me to a “contact us” function but I still can’t get the navy blue “learn more “ key to link to the platform. It links to the rules and resolutions.

    I cleared the cache several times, and tried different browsers, and am still just getting a like to the 48-page Party Rules, which say nothing about policy, just meeting procedures and business rules and such.

    That's what I get, too. I found this odd website by searching around, wondering if this has replaced the platform somehow:

    https://www.republicanleader.gov/commitment/

    But it's not a platform, and not what Catherine referenced, which I would really like to see, too.

    That wasn’t a platform. It was just a few hollow platitudes.

    Beyond the hollow platitudes, if you look hard enough you can find the 2016 party platform. I swear I read the 2020 one just yesterday.

    Here's the link to the 2016 one. https://prod-static.gop.com/media/Re...748.1667572648

    At this point, it looks to me that the Tuesday vote will not so much be a referendum on democracy as a referendum on the Democrats.

    The sad thing is how soon the 2024 campaign will commence thereafter.

    I’m hoping the handlers for President Joe Biden see this as the time to gently ease the old guy out of his idea of running in 2024.But if we are left with Kamala, ugh. Double ugh.

    Democrats, PLEASE step up to give us a viable candidate. Honestly, at this point and I hate to admit this but if it were Hillary Clinton versus Donald Trump I’d vote for Hillary. This does not mean put up Hillary as a candidate. Her time has passed.

    Iris, can you think of someone whom you see as a viable Democratic candidate, other than Biden or Harris?
