I’m voting down ballot and [b]leaving the top of the ticket blank or writing in Biden[/b], so I have no horse in this race, but the whole chest clutching, guffawing thing comes off as really fake and performative to me. Sorry.[/quote]

I've said this before: people who don't vote for one of the two main candidates are making a statement only to themselves. This literally helps nothing. In the race before us, there is a clearly better choice and whatever your reason for "writing in Biden," it will not be advanced by doing so.[/quote]

These kind of people are self-important drama queens. PP was just using it as an opportunity to take a dig at Walz. It’s just an inauthentic post. [/quote]

Different undecided voter here. People who are concerned about this far left ticket, who also refuse to vote for Trump, will just stay home.

I know it’s just a small subset of us, and the Dems are going after special interest groups with a large number of voters. So basically we are unhoused at the moment.

Look, I understand.  I'm a RINO that is now a registered Independent.  I'm a Bush-41 republican who thinks that Reagan and Bush-41 are spinning in their graves after what Trump has done to the GOP.

The difference is that not only do I refuse to vote for Trump, I refuse to let him worm his way back into office just to pardon himself from his crimes.  I disagree with a lot of the DNC platform, but I will vote for Harris-Walz because I refuse to allow him to get back into office and further erode our government.  I think the damage that Trump would cause is far worse than anything that Harris can do in one term.  The same as Biden, we can recover from the things that Harris can do.  We cannot recover from changes that Trump would do.

Examples?  Trump would take us out of NATO which would have world-wide repercussions.  Such as changes which would allow Putin to continue his imperialistic ways.  Putin wants to reconstitue the Soviet Union under the Russian flag.  Trump would allow Russia to become the dominant superpower in the world.  Trump would continue to make the court system more and more conservative allowing the court system to deny more and more human rights to women and minorities.  Returning to the 1950s before the civil rights era is a terrible idea.  Women are and would die from the Republican system of denying health care to pregnant women because doctors are afraid of legal percussions should they treat their pregnant patients as their medical training suggests.  So they have to choose between their Hippocratic oaths and their legal obligations.  Families of LGBTQ parents will get torn apart since Thomas has already said he is targeting Obergefell and more conservative judges on lower courts will push up cases that will test that ruling to the SCOTUS.

Sorry, but I, too, long for a more reasonable Republican party, like we had when we were younger, but that will not happen as long as the MAGA movement have a stranglehold on the GOP.  To kill this monster, we need to cut off its head and keeping him from public office is paramount and the first step.  The ultra-conservatives have taken over the Republican party and the only way to get them out of power is to keep them from being elected.  If they cannot get a candidate elected, then they will lose power and maybe the more reasonable minded can regain power by showing that they can win in a general election.  [/quote]

Thank you for this post. One that actually helps those of us RINOs put things into perspective. I have never seen Trump as ultra-conservative and[b] other than the conservative appointments to SCOTUS[/b], I am unable to identify what he did that destroyed the country to the level that the left insists he did. As I just said in my last post, Trump really isn't an extreme conservative. He acts like one in his speech and performance, but his actions are not. In any event, can you help me understand how you can feel confident in the safety of our country with a Harris/Walz ticket? I truly feel like we won't really know who is actually running the country if we elect them. Neither of them are fit or capable of doing so. Their intellect is so low, with literally zero foreign policy experience that I just don't see how it's possible. With what happened to Biden, it is more clear than ever that we have a shadow government. Don't you want to know who that is?[/quote]

And it turns out, those appointments are not conservative at all, but rather total partisan hacks.[/quote]
