Being a person on the left side I am sick of the Democrats and their incompetence. Seeing as there is no hope in our political system, convince me Republicans of why I should even consider voting for your candidates?
You party is riddled with religious extremism, warhawks and people who will willingly bend over for corporate interests publicly and even say it is a good thing for the country.
You brush off income inequality with straw man arguments that poor people simple do no work hard enough, despite the systematic corruption.
You claim you want to fix the budget but set aside money for over seas wars while we slash teacher salaries here.
You seem to think government jobs are some sort of "burden" when they provide services that many of us take for granted.
You seem to have a vague understanding of international politics, do not understand how the United Nations works, much less the politics of another country.
You seem to have no idea of how a civil society works and would love to see our country dissolve into class warfare.
You claim to have "morals" but all of your leaders come off as greedy elitists who use religion, "freedom" and other measures to justify their means.
You claim you want freedom yet continue to deny rights to people with different sexual preferences because you do not find it is right and should discriminate against them by governmental means.
Please Republicans convince me of why I should vote or even consider a damn candidate in your party. Why on earth should any considerable person with morals vote for you?
I don't see the point in this post, seeing as all this is is a bunch of stuff designed to get a stupid left-v-right argument going like what happens in every other goddamned thread in this forum.
grow up.
Also, related- leave the Democrats, don't join the Republicans, vote independently.

Hard to be independent when all the candidates have a R or D next to their names.
Ya know what ya getting. It may not be what ya want but its also not someone telling you they will give you what you want just to burn you in the end.
Better to pick and choose candidates by their record then party.
The problem is that you are connecting emotion and morals with politics. You need to separate the two.
Republicans are not any better than Democrats right now. Democrats want to add taxes and increase spending with no regard for what it will do to the economy (inflation, depression, etc)..
Republicans want to spend $$, but cut taxes. Yes they want some token spending cuts, but nothing significant.
Right now it is a huge game of "Hot Potato" and both parties are waiting for it to fall in their hands.
I would not try to sell anyone on either of the pathetic parties, I mean really look at the shape of the country is in. And just about every major issue that has drove us to this point has had bi partisan approval, that is why posters can point the finger at the other side for blame. That is the way the establishment wants it " divide and conquer ", if you are a partisan you are conquered.
Mostly Dems are for the top 1% and the bottom 20%
Mostly the GOP is for the top 1% and the rest of the top 20%
Everyone else is out of luck.
