I personally am done with the "well we have to vote for the Republican because otherwise the democrat will win". It's a lose/lose proposition for the country. The GOP has backstabbed and betrayed their base so many times that "well the democrat would be worse" no longer has any effect on me.

Except they are absolutely worse.

I get what you are saying, but it's a lot easier to work for change when you only have 10% or even 20% to work on versus trying to change 95%.

When the democratic party has become the anti-American party of crime, corruption and racism, we basically have a one party system:

Not Democrat!

I'm not voting for their love life. Ideally they are a choirboy but policy matters most.

Yeah, that ended with Bill Clinton. Don't give 2 ****s who they pork as long as they aren't a pedo. That ship sailed long ago.

Selfish people who only think of themselves will continue to be selfish and self centered in office. Don't have to be very creative to see all the ways that can lead to bad policy decisions, tax dollar waste, and maybe even espionage.

Character matters when the people in question control $7 trillion of annual spending and sit on national security committees. There's no way to pretend otherwise. If we do, it leads to people like Swalwell banging a Chinese spy while drawing a salary paid by our tax dollars.

As the graph shows, there are also a portion of those from the right constantly crossing over to support the left, and rarely visa versa.

This is why we cannot make any meaningful, positive progress like cleaning up the voting requirements. Far too many folks claiming to represent conservative values, but for the right price they'll flip every time.

Don't fool yourself that any of it is about principles or beliefs.

If "not democrat" would win every time, then yes we would have a one party system. But unfortunately the D's do win and the pendulum swings back and forth.

Therefore in order for the "not democrat" side to make non-leftist gains long term, they either need to win more frequently than the D's, or they need to start governing more aggressively when the pendulum swings their way. Both strategies have been hoped for the last several decades and both have failed.

Voting is not enough if you go with that "not democrat" plan. You need a cultural change in how voters view the political game and where their influences come from.

If it's a ****ty Republican, I'll leave it blank. I will never vote for Democrat for the rest of my life.

So many people on here are saying that they will continue to just blindly vote Republican because of how bad the Democratic party is.

Generally, I get the sentiment and could never envision a world in which I vote for a modern day democrat.

But I hate the idea that every election is essentially, "Well, this is better than the alternative," rather than, "Man, this is a guy I believe will represent me well, uphold what he says, and work earnestly to make life better for those in this district/state/country." How do we get to a place where we are voting for the latter, rather than the former? Or are we too far gone at this point? With the was donor money continues to increase with every election, it seems impossible to get back to a place where politicians serve the people rather than serving big tech/big pharma/big business/whatever other big money donor that buys their influence.

Vote in the primaries.

The end.

I asked this same question on another thread and surprisingly most people said they would vote for anyone with an R by their name because they did not want anyone with a D by their name to win.

I used Fetterman as an example if he switched parties and ran as an R and several said said they would still vote R.

It was amazing seeing how a lot of people don't have a line but just blindly vote for their team.

Brah….every single democrat United States senator supports men in women's sports, bathrooms and showers. Every single Mf one. Socialism has also become mainstream in the Democratic Party, We could go on and on and on. Your uncle's Democratic Party is dead. It has become a giant collection of psychos and degenerates. An absolute carney freak show.

I can't stand most modern R's but it's an easy effing voting decision every time.

Anyone who still votes dem is a complete brainwashed imbecile, or a psycho. Or just completely naive and voting that way before because of social pressure in their blue metro bubble.

The Kavanaugh hearing convinced me to never again vote D. They showed me who they are, and I believe them

Some of our "greatest " leaders were sexually immoral - in both parties. That doesn't move the needle for me. Policy does

The same demonic freaks who could not stand to honor a young black boy battling terminal brain cancer. Or acknowledge the devastated grieving parents of rape/murder victims.

Pure evil. A wretched lot. You cannot possibly despise modern Democrat politicians enough. Luckily they will pay immensely when their time is up on this earth.

I've come to believe there is definitely something demonic.

You must not have any children. Culture matters. Safe places to live matter. Democrats have proven to be infinitely worse in these vital areas.

I have given up on ever becoming fiscally sound as a nation. Not gonna happen. But one side is at least a significant blockade to all out cultural rot and decay.

Yep. At the very least, they are all highly driven and fueled by hatred. Envy as well. On the bright side, they tend to procreate at much lower rates, praise be to the almighty.

No, not "infinitely".

The GOPs position on transing your kids is the same as the democrats. They just want to wait until they are 10 and/or have your consent

“No trans surgery for children without parental consent” is meaningless. The kids who are mutilated almost always have parental consent. The consent of the parents is not the issue.

I'm talking about options for American voter (non-Americans and anti-Americans would vote Democrat).

The long term strategy is to recognize democrats as the threat to national security that they are and ban them from every level of office. Just like you wouldn't have Russians, terrorists, Mexican cartel, the Chinese, or Iranians running our government, you wouldn't have democrats running it either.

Back when democrats were pro-American liberals, yeah, they're fine for public office. But when they became leftist marxists? Nope.

Voting is very, very, simple these days.

I vote for whom I believe to be the best candidate and person in the primary.

In the general, straight ticket R. Not because I am voting for the GOP but because I am voting against the unhinged, lunatic, degenerate, commie, left. Very simple.

---

It really is this simple. I admit I voted against Trump in the primary- his populist stuff is ok just felt there were better true conservative options.

When it came to the general and Trump was running against Biden then later Harris, after the party boses dismissed Biden then appointed Harris, throwing away millions of primary votes. I gladly and loudly backed Trump.

Anybody but a leftest demwit, especially one appointed by their evil machine.

I guess that's all a function of how you look at it.

Me? I'd rather a guy that is 100% pro America and bleeds red, white and blue but has a habit of sticking his pecker into any woman he can even though he's married be the person making that $7T decision over somebody like the most loyal to his wife anti American pro illegal immigration and pro high taxes guy.

Way, way, way too much emphasis is put on "character" and way way way too many people are either ignorant or completely blind to the "character" of most of the founding fathers and most of the highly thought of politicians in history.

What in the cornbread hell?

Provide a source for that. If not, you should be banned for life. Pure deceit or delusion. Take your pick!

When a politician runs more tv time on ads for his campaign ( I see cornin ads 3 times per hour) than he does on problem solving for his constituents, I'm voting him the hell out.

In the past I have voted for democrats, republicans, and independents.

In the past, all of the above seemed to want what was best for our country, but had different ideas on how to get there.

But in the modern era, the Democratic Party has been completely taken over by the global Marxist movement. And they are actively trying to destroy our country, and in fact all of western society.

And the only way to stop the Marxists pretending to be democrats is to vote for republicans.

So I will vote for every republican in every election, no questions asked, because the Marxist democrats have to be stopped.

Related Question: How bent does a cop have to be before you'll not allow him to stopped your being mugged?

One Side: Open borders, wealth taxes, men in womens sports, breaking out the dick saw for effeminate and probably just gay 8 year olds, firehosing tax money into money laundering NGOs, etc. etc. etc.

vs

Oily ******* against all of that, like I am.

I vote for whom I believe to be the best candidate. I have voted for Dems in various positions through my life. It is rare but sometimes they are the better candidate.

Many times it is a vote against a crazy lib dem even when I am not a fan of the republican.

I will always vote for someone, never abstain. If I don't vote I can't complain!

Trump's ramblings are not Republican policy. Trans stuff isnt even in the SAVE America Act.

I am a "yellow dog" Republican for anyone and I mean anyone with a (D) by his or her name currently stands for everything I am against.

They have proven again and again that they cannot be trusted and want the destruction of this country.

They will gladly burn down this country so that they can rule over the ashes.

What can a politician you'd vote for today do or believe for it to be a vote to the other major candidate or an abstain.

I feel most of us will say their policy votes, and a minority will say their personal character.

I'm having a really tough time with this one in today's politisphere.

---

If there's a D next to their name, it will continue to be a hard pass for me, no exceptions. At worse, I might abstain but really that's just disengaging and our country is at a point where that's as bad as voting for the Democrat. So, in sum, I guess there is no line that can be crossed to move me to vote for a Dem.

Voted in the Republican primary yesterday. Overall disappointed in the candidates for both Senate and Texas Attorney General but any of them significantly beat the alternatives on the other side.
