[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There will be a massive disconnect with politicians and their voters in 20 years. When the 60+ crowd are gone, the dems will be panicking as to how to run more progressive campaigns rather than resenting anyone whose marginally more left than a conservative 10 years ago. The republicans will be great though.[/quote]

What?  
The Dems will adjust.  They believe in civil rights, rule of law, making the environment sustainable, women's rights, abortion rights.

The R's used to believe in fiscally conservative policies, state's rights, and ending abortion.

Now, their main unifying policy (abortion) is off the list, and they no longer believe in state's rights or fiscally conservative policies.

Neither policy has a clear vision for foreign policy.

In 20 years, the D's have something to build on / build up / build towards.

The R's have dismantled the entire government, made the tax structure unsustainable, and totally eliminated our leadership position in foreign policy.  They've made us an unreliable partner and even have brought into question whether we have or support rule of law.

In what way are the R's in a better position to have an agenda for the future?[/quote]

I don’t believe that the Democrats believe in women’s rights any more. [/quote]

Why?

And the R's who took away the right to choose do?  Really?  [/quote]

The Rs don’t believe in women’s rights either. But the Democrats have gone all in on destroying women’s rights as well. They have prioritized men at every turn. [/quote]

Pick your poison, though.  One of these parties leads towards continued free and fair elections, courts, and civil rights.  
One wants to end all of those American ideals.[/quote]

I don’t think the Democrats are the party of civil rights any more. I certainly don’t believe your hysteria.

Candidly I just don’t believe the Democrats on anything at this point. They lied about Biden’s health, as we can all see.

Trump and the GOP lie as well. But I never trusted them. Now I distrust the Democrats the same way I distrust the Republicans. [/quote]

Okay, but if you mistrust both, then ask yourself which aligns with your beliefs more, in general?  Vote that way.  Don't throw away the only tool you have.[/quote]

I’m honestly not sure any more. I’ve never voted for a Republican presidential candidate in my life. The fact I am even considering it, for a snake like Trump no less, is a shocking position to be in. [/quote]

I voted for Republican 3x, then Clinton, then Biden. I didn't and wouldn't vote for someone who speaks in hyperbole. However, this country will be unrecognizable of Biden and his handlers win again. It’s getting insane. And I’m the poster who believes states should have reproductive rights and that women’s rights are being attacked but not in the way the rest of you do, apparently. [/quote]
