I've never voted blue in my life (I'm pushing 47) but at least back in the day I could at least agree with some of the things the democratic party was putting out. Can't agree with nothing nowadays because it's Marxism. Are new yorkers really gonna vote in for a continuation of debozo and fredo's brother next time around all because fredo told you orange man bad?

Bad jokes aside, I'm interested at taking a peak at how your leftist brains work and the reasoning for voting blue. What's your most important issue and does that issue alone swing you left? What would you like to see from your next local leader, mayor, govornor regardless of party affiliation?
How do you sleep at night knowing your 'party' has put the nation $3T in debt in what- 2 years?

Please spare me the Pollyanna garbage.

I have a long list of reasons why I would never vote for Trump but I will just focus on this year. We are in a global health pandemic with no national plan. Trump has never taken this pandemic seriously. Our country is hurting with no end in sight. In our lifetime we have never seen this kind of health pandemic in our country because our presidents took charge. He won't listen to the experts because he thinks he knows more than they do. He mocks Biden for wearing a mask. Who does that? Bush dealt with SARS. Obama dealt with H1N1, Zika and Ebola. Yes people died but these presidents had a plan to deal with it. Our country wasn't shut down like it is now because we had leadership.

Take a civics 101 class and study it thoroughly.

You post nonsense and you embarrass yourself with your lack of understanding..

Believe it or not I mean this in a nice way.

When their party is so bad they can't say ANYTHING about it, they just try to claim both sides are the same bad. It's their scripted MO.

Republicans used to be against government abuse... they are now in the bedroom with police unions and allowing them to decide who deserves to die in a non-life threatening situation, they now support imprisoning journalists who aren't pro-administration, they now support imprisoning and physically harming protestors (I'm not talking about rioter/looters), they now believe every law should be added or removed by executive order, they now believe a bragging p*ssy grabber who has sex while his wife is pregnant and then give cash hush money and using his rich daddy to get out of the draft meanwhile trashing the names of war heroes who hurt his ego... make great role models for their children...

Trump is forever changing the Republican Party and ideals. If he wins this election, the Republican Party pre-Trump will be DEAD. I voted for Trump in 2016 and supported him until the start of this year. He literally is turning into the dictator, his critics have long been calling him...

I'm not a rightwinger, and I don't know what you're implying when you ask "What is considered Marxism in your compound?"

Despite your snotty post, I'll answer only because I'm still interested in the topic. Wiki summarizes it as well as I could:
"Marxism is the name for a set of political and economic ideas. The core ideas are that the world is divided into classes, the workers and the richer capitalists who exploit the workers, there is a class conflict that should ultimately result in socialism (workers own means of production), and then communism (stateless, classless society)."

While not perfect, I would choose capitalism over Marxism/socialism/communism any day.

So please refute my post. I asked you that already but you ignored it. So I'm still waiting. I'm not trying to battle anyone. I just like stimulating conservation with people who have different views. But I don't want to be insulted when that's all people have to say. And I think you are the one who came unarmed lol

Trump locked down for a few weeks to flatten the curve.

Local governments extended all it all past the intial 2 weeks to flatten it out.

Most of this stuff is local, not federal.

Trump only has so much direct control. It goes local, state government. Up to federal.
