[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an atheist. I believe in capitalism and free markets.  I abhor the military-industrial complex. I'm concerned about human-induced climate change. I want lower taxes and somewhat less government.  I support universal access to abortions, within some minor logical constraints.  I feel like the LGBTQIA+ movement gets too much airtime and we don't need to bend over backwards for trans people.  I despise trump and all the MAGA scum (because that's what they are). That said, I'd like to stop the flow of illegals across the southern border.  I'd also love to see us allow in many more talented, educated people from all over world.

What do you think?  After re-reading the above, I feel like I should probably vote republican, but i just hate most republican politicians!

If you despise both parties, you should vote for neither. We're in the toxic and messy political environment we're in because for too long people have been voting for their perceived lesser of two evils put forth by the R or D Party. That practice has given us a lower overall quality of people leading our Federal Government. If you don't think the person you are considering voting for is among the absolutely best of the best candidates for the position, don't vote for them. That methodology would surely rule out Trump and Biden. By continually meeting voter turn out expectations and by 98% of us continuing to vote for nothing but R and D candidates, the two parties are continually being rewarded for their less than ideal candidates and therefore they have no incentive to change for the better.

We are in this mess because of bothsides clowns like yourself.

We are in this mess when people like you and OP can look rationally at the Democratic Party and the Republican Party and their policies and actions and think for even a second that these two parties are remotely the same.

We’re in the mess because people like you who bothsides everything continually vote for Republicans no matter what crap they pull because if both parties are both the same better just move with the herd, right?

We have one functional party and one party that is, on several levels, trying to destroy the government. All of you who profess to hate both parties continually cite right wing talking points about the Democratic Party as to why you hate the Democrats, and not a one of you has any self awareness that you are just regurgitating right wing talking points that have no or minimal basis in reality.

So I guess just keep going on the way you are bothsiders. We certainly have a functioning government that’s totally not being held hostage both in Congress and in military appointments by the GOP and none of our soldiers are in any danger and there are zero humanitarian crises ongoing. So just lie back, relax and think of the flag as you vote Republican. [/quote]
No one is claiming that both parties are "remotely the same". They are not the same. However, they do share one obvious thing in common- they are both complete and utter failures. Why? One party is so terrible that they nominated Donald J Trump to run for president on their party ticket twice!! The other party is so dysfunctional that they lost an election to Donald J Trump and then followed that up by losing 232 electoral votes to him in the next election!! These failures are unacceptable. If you are okay with these failures, you have different values compared to most of the rest of us Americans.[/quote]
