To me it seems clear that a lot of the support the left gets is not based on whether their arguments are sound, but rather on their public image being presented as "this is who you vote for if you're a good person".
"It seems to me" and "sound arguments" are opinion. I don't see any reason to debate something with you that you seem to have already made your mind up about. I'm gathering that you are an educated, well-read individual, so I doubt that I have anything more to offer that you haven't read already. You see the world one way based on your experiences; I don't concur for the same reason.

A few months ago a friend confessed to me that the older he got, the more right-leaning he became.
This has been happening from the beginning of time. I wouldn't say people "get" more conservative. I think the world changes, and people don't so much. Therefore, they seem conservative because they are old-fashioned and out-of-step with the times.
This is why young people are eagerly waiting for us to die

Even the name itself, the "democrats", as if they are somehow more democratic than the opposition. Rather ironic when much of their agenda is explicitly anti-democratic (representing the interests of minorities rather than the interests of the democratic majority, and often at the expense thereof)
It's just a name. I would like to know more about this anti-democratic "agenda" that they have? Would it be banning abortion? Would it be gerrymandering? Perhaps voter suppression laws? In which states, Red or Blue, is there a disproportionate number of Congressional representatives compared to the number of votes cast? And do tell which minorities in the US have laws that favor their interests while trampling on the rights of the majority ("often"...you said)?
And out of curiosity, do you believe "three wolves and a sheep shouldn't be able to vote what's for lunch," or are you just a more straightforward "majority rules" kind of guy?
