[quote=Anonymous]I am a coastal elite. Why do I vote democrat:

1. I understand what the debt ceiling is and that Republicans using it as a bargaining chip is effectively pointing a gun to the head of the economy instead of negotiating  in good faith. When the republicans did that under Obama I permanently shifted toward the democrats.

2. A large portion of the republican base are religious zealots who want to break down the barrier between church and state. Those people scare me more than the nuts on the left.

3. Throughout my life, the economy has generally performed better under democrats.

4. W's decision to enter Iraq was the dumbest decision by a president in my lifetime. Many democrats stupidly supported it, but they were not the impetus behind that horrible mistake.

5. Trump and trumpists do not support the democratic process when they lose. This is a potentially republic-ending flaw on the right.

6. Republicans post-George H.W. Bush do not actually care about fiscal responsibility.[/quote]
