My thoughts on this political cartoon are that being a democrat isn't just one thing you pick out on Election Day. Belonging to a political party is all about what YOU believe. You can change others and yourself by your beliefs, you can be a good representative of your political party. Some people pick their political party maybe because that is what everyone else is, or they like just one specific thing about that party. You pick your politcal party based on what you believe, not what everyone else does, and that can change who you are. =** People in Political Parties: **=
