Ditto - and I was a Republican for several decades, having voted for mostly Republicans during that time. Never again.

The GOP here is for American Sharia Laws and basically, like living in a theocracy.
Sorry but the bolded comment is hilarious. lol!


That's ok. As many of you who are saying you will never vote republican again, there are just as many, if not more saying they will not vote democrat again.

The bold is true in many areas. I remember when the Police chief in my town decided he wanted to give people a choice of going to church or sitting in jail and people thought that was somehow ok.

While I tend to always vote Republican, I choose the lesser of two evils ultimately. It just so happens to be that the Dem nominee is way out of the mainstream and has beliefs that run contrary to how I interpret the Constitution and law in general.

I never vote Democrat period. I oppose everything Democrats stand for. That being said I don't like all Republicans. For example, If Marco Rubio was the nominee in 2016 instead of Trump I would have voted third party.

If there is an election for some minor office and I know nothing about either candidate just seeing the (R) in front of their name is good enough for me.

That's pretty much where I am these days.

Although I've never voted for an R presidential candidate, in the past I have voted for R congressional candidates and R candidates for state and local office. No more. I simply won't contribute to an R majority.

I'm a Democrat but I've voted Republican a hand full of times in local elections. But during the age of Individual 1, I will not vote for any Republican that stands behind him and remains silent to his corruption and obstruction. He is a national emergency.

I trust neither party, but Republicans are generally the lesser of 2 evils. I wish we'd do away with the party system.

I didn't use to feel this way but now I definitely do - especially after their nomination of Trump, the voting fraud shenanigans in NC, blatant voter suppression and conflicts of interest in Georgia, and most importantly - their outright denial of climate change.

As mentioned a few times before, I always vote the more Christian candidate.

And that hasn't been Democrat for many decades now.
