    It’s amazing how far the R has fallen.

    Small government? Privacy? Staying out of people’s life? Individual rights and responsibility? Freedom?

    Yeah.

    Im not registered with a party. I’m not sure about how that would benefit anything, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to vote R until that’s fixed.

      Same.

      Although it’s becoming close I register for Democrats cause of how bad things have gotten with Republicans.
      They only got culture wars and conspiracy theories and downright malice now.

      Helps me? NO. Tax cuts for the rich, taxes for me, and forcing their religion down my throat.

      Helps others? NO. Targeting social security, restricted voting, and a whole lot of pulling up bootstraps

      Helps kids? NO. Child labor laws weakened, free school lunched targeted, and don’t say gay.

      Helps nature? NO. Climate change “isn’t real!!!”, drill baby drill no matter what, and hostility to any “alternative/clean” solutions.

      What future is there in that? Just a regressive and bastardization of the past. For what?!?! Just to try to bring back the “Good old days?”

      With Dems there is at least a future, as troubled and imperfect as it might be. With Reps there isn’t

        If those are your concerns I’m curious how you were ever comfortable voting for a republican? These have always been their stances, they’ve just doubled down on them lately.

          They used to have a redeeming feature here and there. I voted for a republican about 8 years ago because he was the only one willing to combat out of control unaudited spending in my state.

          Now anyone who can stand to have a ® next to their name stands with the party of fascism and that’s way more important than the occasional good opinion any one candidate might have.
