I have found the perfect example of a democrat. We have a six year old poodle. When I get up every morning, the first thing that I do is let her outside for her first business trip. When she finishes her business, I bring her back in, give her a cookie, and breakfast. When she gets through with breakfast she jumps back on the bed with Mama and waits for Mama to get up. the first thing that Mama does when she gets up is take her outside for her second business trip. When she finishes her business trip, it's a cookie and to her chair until Mama sits down in her recliner. Niki jumps on the foot of Mama's recliner and waits for Mama's next activity. What ever that activity is, it will begin with a business trip, followed by a cookie, and back to Niki's chair. In short Niki's day revolves around Mama or I doing for her.
Niki is so dependent on us that when we are not there for her, her world falls apart. Mama and I took a trip a few months back and left her with our daughter. While we were gone, Niki would not eat, and our daughter had to physically pick her up and carry her outside. When we returned, Niki wouldn't let us out of her sight for over a week. What do we have? We have a dog that is totally dependent on us. She cannot function without our care.
Niki is a perfect example of the average democratic voter. She is so totally dependent on her government (us) care, that it is nearly impossible for her to live without it.
