Political Thread: The Sequel

GaWx said:
Have you ever voted for a Democrat in the general for POTUS? If so, when was the last time? I’ve voted 3 times for Dems but the majority for Reps going back to Reagan (easily my favorite Pres) in 1984. For me the Trump turn-offs are mainly a combination of:

1. Extreme divisiveness from the get-go in 2015 and his treating his American political opponents as enemies rather than opponents. I thought Obama was quite divisive plus he was too lib for me overall. Thus I can proudly say I voted for McCain and Romney. Easy decisions.

But then Trump comes along and says “hold my beer”. There were a good number of other Republicans in the 2016 primaries whom I would have voted for in the general. Folks like Kasich especially but also Jeb (who turned out to be a low energy campaigner and thus blew his chances), Fiorina, and Rubio. Trump’s childishness of calling his GOP opponents by silly nicknames was a total turnoff.

We’re all Americans but he sure doesn’t treat many of those who don’t agree with him that way. His main tactic is “divide and conquer” as opposed to trying to unify us all to make our country stronger. He had a chance to do that at the convention like he claimed he would right after the July shooting. But after the first 10 minutes of his speech, which were excellent and encouraging, he blew that opportunity.

2. Had there been any chance for me to vote for him in 2024 (admittedly hard to imagine): his knowing that he really lost in 2020 but then trying to get the results changed like he literally did on the phone in my state via our great Sec of State killed any chance. And then on top of that I’ll add his influence and encouragement that lead to 1/6/21. And then he wouldn’t even attend Biden’s inauguration. It isn’t just about personality and mean tweets. It is also about actions.

Harris was lousy in her duties of her border position/czar. I feel there was nothing Harris did noteworthy in a good way as VP that I can point to except any influence she may have had on the admin bringing some Rx drug prices down for seniors (especially capping insulin at $35/mo.) as part of an Inflation Reduction package in 2023:

So, my vote for Harris would be because she’s not Trump, period. I’m not ashamed to admit this. With our state being so competitive, I don’t plan to vote for someone else.

I would be ashamed to admit it. Especially if it was costing my country and the freedom that comes along with it. You would rather have a country in the tank and peoples lives ruined rather than a strong country with some feelings hurt along the way. Literally every week another company seems to file for bankruptcy. At the end of the day as long as I am able to live without struggling, enjoy life with my family, and avoid Wars I couldn’t care less what the government is doing, saying or tweeting. And for the past 4 years that’s all it has been. Struggling and wars. Regardless of how I think though you are still a human being and I have to respect your opinion though. Too many people died for that freedom. So do what you feel is best for you and your family is what I always say.

This is where the media carries the water for the Democrat party. The montages you see of liberal "reporters" repeating the same order almost to the "T" are priceless comedy. That's why gullible people believe that nonsense. They do it because it works. That's why they target emotional people

A lot of those "swing voters" change their minds every 3 days and sometimes 3 times in a day. These people are the most emotional of them all hence why they are prime targets. They also cost elections across the board.
 
The fact these people all quit tell you all you need to know about whether or not the porn forum post belong to Robinson or not.... the sad thing is many people will still pull the lever for him in November, even knowing he has done and believes all these things.
