[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to be a Republican.  I’m fiscally conservative and socially laissez-faire. I don’t really care what bathroom someone chooses or what happens between consenting adults.  I’m also not alarmed by growing diversity in the electorate or political leadership.  I’m so very tired of wokeness and the policing of what I say.  Maybe you don’t agree with me and that’s ok, but that doesn’t make my views and feelings invalid.  I think it’s not helpful to demonize people who don’t share your worldview, which seems to happen a lot among the left.

I don’t really like Biden and I think he’s too old.  I have never liked Kamala Harris.  But.  Trump is simply not a leader.  He’s a self-centered, blithering, treasonous moron.  And worse he seems to have empowered a foolish group of grifters who don’t understand the concept of public service.

I wish there was a different choice.  But I’d like our republic to last until the boomers die out and so I will vote for Biden.  [/quote]
See, [i]you[/i] I believe to be everything you say. You I believe are representing yourself and your beliefs honestly and while I might disagree with you around the edges, overall you want America to keep going forward.

I’m a Democrat, always have been. I’m a flaming conservative to the Communists I used to know and a flaming liberal to the conservatives I know. I’m tired of what feels like annoying ash hippy liberals tweens (even the middle aged ones) policing me and my words but I think the world is stomping way too quickly towards a corporate friendly nothingness and the obliteration of small things (small businesses, small farms, small firms…).

I actually really do like Biden. Yeah he’s older than dirt and can be politician smarmy as hell but he gets it done. He was handed a total crap sandwich from the GOP and he’s planted flowers and native perennials in it, even as the GOP keeps heaping more crap on top. Kamala is not my favorite person but I sometimes wonder how much of that is what I actually think about her and internalized misogynoir. (I don’t think it’s “woke” to recognize that Black women, even Jamaican-American Black women with a metric ton of education and success, get kicked in the face more than a lot of other groups and to think about my role in that).

But I will walk over hot coals, I would make polite conversation with my maga relatives, I will do anything to vote for the Democrats. People who aren’t willing to help put the GOP into its grave do not grasp the severity of the situation. [/quote]
