So let's list this out:
1) Democrats support raising taxes on the wealthy to ensure that we can pay for the social services required by the middle class while Republicans keep passing legislation that's bankrupting our country to give massive handouts to the wealthy
2) Democrats believe in spending more money on public education, which is required by the middle class while Republicans believe in gutting public education in favor of homeschooling and private religious schools
3) Democrats believe in raising the minimum wage so that people who work 40 hours a week can afford a place to live and to raise their children, while Republicans have been (falsely) arguing for decades that it's a bad idea
4) Democrats believe in enhancing consumer protections- ala the Consumer Protection Bureau- while Republicans have fought the Bureau every step of the way and recently rolled back protections that made it easier for consumers to hold banks accountable for taking advantage of them.
5) Democrats believe that Citizens United should be overturned so that the wealthiest people don't end up with 90% of the political voice- Republican-appointed Justices are the ones who made that horrendous decision happen
6) Democrats are the ones who fought Republicans after the Great Recession to keep unemployment insurance benefits (remember how Republicans were willing to shut the US government down to avoid paying out unemployment insurance?)
7) Democrats believe that income inequality is an issue we actually need to face- Republicans call that "class warfare"
8) Democrats are pushing for legislation to make it easier to unionize- so works are continually at a disadvantage in negotiations with their employers while Republicans keep passing legislation to attack and disband unions
9) Democrats passed legislation that led to the lowest rate of uninsured Americans in the history of our country, with subsidies that basically applied to most household making less than 100k (and got medicaid coverage for millions of poor people) while Republicans have done *everything* in their power to make the law fail (blocking funding intended to keep costs down, trying to repeal it at every chance, refusing the medicaid expansion, etc)
10) Democrats are the only reason why we still have Social Security and Medicare- which the middle class relies on to survive when they're older. Republicans routinely make a campaign issue out of gutting both programs
11) Democrats are the ones who pushed for regulation of Wall Street to prevent another crash, and Republicans just rolled them back again
I'm sorry, but at this point- if you think Democrats have nothing to offer the middle class and instead trust Republicans- then you're spending too much time listening to political rhetoric and not enough time actually watching what everyone is doing.
TL;DR and
Attachment 8948
12) Democrats support killing children in the womb.

Well, let's see. Someone who is persistently upset might, for example, call someone a bitch, call someone else a stalker, and then accuse others of being creepy in an internet forum all in the same 24 hours or so. They might regularly resort to name calling and obscenities when they hear something in a political debate they don't like- finding themselves incapable of handling information they don't agree with. It might be a standard occurrence, for example, for that person to insult several people a day.
That person might also spend an inordinate amount of their time in a game forum for a game they haven't played in years, using their accounts to give negative rep to anyone they don't agree with. They might even regularly revisit 6 month old posts to continue to register their displeasure via the rep system in order to feel a sense of relief.
Of course- that really only describes one person on these forums. The single most perennially upset person on said forum.
Presumably the most perennially upset in his own life.
How have I been conned? What has been taken from me by my religion, if anything my life has been improved by taking in the world from more than a single view. My religious view really plays a very small part in my stand, it's my trust in science that provides me with the evidence that we're killing innocent humans.
If the subject is looked at from a purely biological position abortion becomes even more illogical, ultimately without a spiritual or religious twist, fucking and making babies is why we exist.
