that what pretends to be The Democratic Party survey of its voters on important issues of the day does not even include the major issues of the day?

This is an exceedingly creepy statement on what our political parties and our elections have been perverted into. This is more like what you would expect from North Korea than a representative republic.

We are now reaching a point in our politics where the parties don't even pretend to be battling based on the actual important agendas of the day. We the People are being propagandized into accepting a perversion of our elections in which we are to align through sheer emotion with one party or the other, and to fervently defend them based on nothing but the party affiliation.

It is sick.
It is creepy.
It is undemocratic.

And to see it reflected so blatantly in actual party materials like this is disturbing as hell.
