Soooo anybody on here voting for the other party on 11/8?

U won’t vote for a gay Dem? LOL!

 

Good question. I was actually going to dig into her platform this week and get up to speed on it rather than just rely on what the media says about it either way.

 

Are there any straight Democrats?

 

No chance that I change my vote...

 

Its funny you say this. I recently read a book about polarization that showed how members of each party really don’t know the other party. The democrats thought the average Republican voter made 150k per year (when the true number was like 30k) and the republicans thought 45% of democrats were gay (when the true number was around 4%).

 

Abrams makes Trump look moderate lol…

 

Many of the local races - School Board, State Representative, County Board of Commissioners, Judges have no Democratic opposition. The decision is to vote R or not vote in those races.

 

Why not just register as a Republican

 

Beats me. Doesn’t really make much of a difference

 

From a left-right policy perspective, Trump is a moderate. His focus on low wage workers in the form of protectionist trade actions and slowing immigration is old school liberal stuff.

Where Trump is extreme is his lack of respect for laws, norms, and other people.

 

It sounds like you are looking for a better option.

 

A vote for a Republican is a vote for Satan, but it's the lesser of two evils.

 

Worst choice of candidates in my memory. Voted by mail.
As a registered dem, the "wokeness" of the far left has turned me completely off. Did not vote for a single democrat, only third party and a couple of pubs.
Went outside and threw up------

 

When you have a liberal party and an anti-democracy party, there is only one choice.

 

Are there any decent republicans?

 

Yes and no. Republicans who refuse to kowtow to the Dear Leader regardless of their positions on substantive issues are very likely to be excommunicated from the party, Liz Cheney being a prime example. Although she checks off all of the boxes on substantive issues, anti-abortion, extraction of natural resources, pro fossil fuels, low taxes, anti-regulation, she lost her primary in a landslide because she had the audacity to question the tyrannical behavior of the Orange One.

 

I'm a registered Libertarian, but tend to vote Republican in local (and some state elections). I'll be voting D in the local sheriff's race. I voted D for Mayor of Jacksonville a few years ago. I have voted D a couple of times in state races. Usually depends on the candidate.
