I can agree.
Reagan was in the 50's?

More of your BS! The Republicans do not pander to white nationalists and again what's wrong with being a nationalist anyway? Confusing supremacism with that again? The Democrats pander to brown supremacists that think their ethnic group should be above our immigration laws and rewarded for violating them.

How so? By setting your nonsense straight? I'm sure the truth of my posts touched a nerve of truth with you though!

Believe whatever you want. The Republicans are happy to have you as a loyal voter.

The Republican Party does not do anything about massive mergers in industries like airlines and telecom which hurt the middle class.


The Republican Party is hypocritical when it comes to life. Putting someone to death is killing just like an abortion.


I have not voted for Democrats in more years than I can count and I will not now, but I will probably just stay home. I am disgusted with the actions of both parties.

Only liberal logic can come up with the decision you're implying you will make.

And the GOP has claimed to be the party in favor of business, and smaller government, but it now deprives business owners of the freedom to require customers and employees to take a vaccine that the Trump administration pushed for.

Why can’t the owner of the gym that I go to require that his customers be vaccinated? If he thinks that would help his business, why can’t he have that freedom?

So much for being the party of business or the party of smaller government.

What can Republicans do about this at the moment? There's a Democrat president, his DOJ and SEC are the ones responsible for trust-busting.

Here's the thing I learned from Ron Paul losing the 2012 election.

Politics as a whole is a compromise.

In other words, you're never supposed to bank on getting your favorite or most preferred candidate elected. You're supposed to choose the lesser evil who will commit the least collateral damage.

If you hold your vote because your ideal candidate lost, THE OTHER SIDE WINS. There's no magical 3rd Party candidate who's going to storm the White House like an MCU Avenger and kick the "bad" candidate out while not even coming close to winning the popular vote.

And I realize that's a tough dilemma for many voters out there. I, too, used to struggle hard with this concept and write off voting altogether because I realized my ideal cnadidates have no chance real chance of getting elected.

But, now, I learned that if you're TRULY disgusted by the other candidate or politician, you will vote for the lesser evil as a political compromise to ensure that the other candidate's potential distasters can be prevented.

That said, I've said before that I voted for Jo Jorgenson in the 2020 election because I didn't care about Trump or Biden and I knowingly wasted by vote to make a point about the contrived flaws of the two party system.

After seeing how much damage Biden has done so far, though, my whole mindset has changed and now I'm willing to vote for anyone who has the biggest chance of defeating Biden on the other side.

You don't need to love the GOP because I find the party to be very hit or miss myself. But voting GOP, even if you're Independent or moderate like myself, is a compromise for preventing the full scale DNC agenda from being fulfilled.
