Lord only knows where this evolution takes me.
Probably in the direction of Pat Robertson.

It seems like you're a liberal, and that's fine. Voting a Senator out because he supports Trump is equally as bad as voting a Senator in who will support Pelosi/Schumer.

Same here. I would vote Republican if Republicans would get their heads out their butts.

She also is a rather known liar when it comes to her stance on preexisting conditions. Her debate yesterdaywas a mix of lies and personal attacks at her opponent.

The bias I have is generally anti-incumbent. It's a rare person that deserves a second term at any level.

The Founding Fathers never intended a permanent political class controlled by the wealthy

Yes but then people also "like who is office" and should be able to "vote for who they want". This is the response when talking about term limits.

I... guess? That’s more of a #walkaway talking point than anything. The reasons are a lot more nuanced and have more to do with the tactics and priorities of the Democratic party than specific policies.

I'm an NPA (independent) in my state. I have only voted in a few elections and have voted for both parties.

I didn't vote for Trump last time and do not intend to this time either. Ideologically I am more inline with moderate Republicans, and if they had a decent candidate I'd vote for them over most Democrats.

Whew ! Lot's of "independents" posting.
Lol, those comments I made was for a completely different poster. I responded directly to that poster, and it wasn't you.
