    The counterpoint to progressive action is moderation. The GOP do not represent useful ideas to a happy populous. They rely on lies and a skewed perception of reality. I don’t respect a party whose core values are harming others, and I live in a red state so I live through that every day.

    I accept and respect various diverse viewpoints on how to best serve the country, including actual libertarian values. I would be more than happy if Joe Manchin was a typical opposing argument to progressive ideals.

      The GOP do not represent useful ideas to a happy populous.

      In YOUR opinion (and mine!). Almost half of the country disagrees with you though.

      I respect people’s right to vote for any one they want to vote for, even if it’s a Republican.

        Well yeah, I don’t disagree with the legal right to vote for a candidate that wants to hurt people.

        I still think the GOP only exists due to ignorance. And I won’t respect their values.

          That’s YOUR opinion. Many others don’t agree with you. That’s what I am saying.

            I’m confused. You’re saying that some people don’t believe in the right to vote for their candidate?

            Obviously Trump is an exception because of the 14th amendment. But in general…

              No, I was referencing your point of legal right to vote for a candidate that “wants to hurt people.”

              Not everyone thinks that the GOP wants to “hurt people.” That’s your opinion. I mean, it’s a strong opinion of yours, but an opinion nonetheless.

              Which you are welcome to. But the people who DON’T think that, have a right to their opinions as well.
