You're just proving how easily duped you are. If that's all it takes to get you to either not vote or vote Republican.Also, for the record, see my sig. I'm an LGBT capitalist, not a conservative. In fact, I'm closer to a classical liberal than I am to a conservative (on social/moral issues anyway.)
You're one of those fools who Trump has convinced that the media is lying to you. Not him of course, the media. LOL. And don't lie. You aren't close to a classical liberal. Here is what you told us 3 years ago
....an affiliation test was sent to me and I came out 86% Libertarian, 83% Republican, 67% Democrat, 62% Green Party, and 17% Socialist.
Libertarians are retarded. Especially the ones who take dicks in the ass.
Actually that was my sig last year yea... 11%-20% isn't that much of a difference son, and /all/ of it is social/moral issues - as I said.
Again, Partisan much? Here I am saying I'm a classical liberal and my shit reflects that I supported well over half of D's positions in 2016 - aka I am on the left's side on a good number of issues - and you're calling me "retarded" for not being 100% on 'your' side... Son, this is why your side loses elections, reflect on that for a while.
And you said you didn't even vote in the last election so I don't give a fuck what you think. Was that in 2012, 14 or 2016?
You remind me of the stupid black people who take a knee but then don't show up to vote.
I did not vote in 2012 because I wasn't informed on the candidates, and? I did vote this year, for Donald Trump, who I know from having watched him for some 30+ years is an independent.
Clearly you've never been an independent before, and this next paragraph will probably be lost in your partisan take on politics... You seem to be unable to understand that viewpoints on specific issues can bridge the parties. Just because I voted R in 2016 doesn't mean I agree with everything on the R platform... It just means that was my best option that year. Independents like me vote on a win/loss ratio; there are issues that we find are "most important" and we have to kind of "sacrifice" other issues that we might disagree with the person we vote for on. There is no such thing as a "perfect candidate" for people like me, we always end up losing on something. You do get used to filtering through everything and sorting out the pros and cons of those running, but it takes a lot of time and effort to do - which is a lot of why I ended up not voting in 2012, because I was disheartened by who was on the ticket, of having to chose between beliefs (right and left) that were /both/ important to me each time, and yea, because OWS was very disturbing for me in particular ( as a capitalist ), especially when the R's were caving into D's instead of standing up for capitalism ( in my opinion anyway. )
How do you think the Republican way is going to benefit you? What do you do for a living? Me? I'm rich (sort of), white, college educated, no kids, a man, straight. The GOP will screw everyone else before they screw me.
I'm a capitalist, I play the stock market for a living. I've been able to retire since I was like 25 (thank you Microsoft and BP.) I climbed the corporate ladder, I later went into business for myself as an interim executive; basically when a CEO or higher up manager gets canned, quits, or dies, I would come in and hold down the fort. I also did consulting for logistics and HR. In more "recent" years I've managed a couple small businesses - though that was more to help out friends of the family than anything else; generally speaking, these days, I play housewife and do whatever the hell I want all day.
What do R's offer me? That's a partisan question. It's about the issues, not the party.
Why did I vote Trump? That's a question I can answer. Because he loves this country and knows that socialism is a losing proposition, because I like that he's straight forward and doesn't play bullshit games with hiding his feelings on issues, because he's a balls to the walls kind of guy who I have no doubt will do everything in his power to get what he wants done, done. I agree with a lot of what he believes in, and the stuff I don't agree with I could "lose" on this time around. Nothing he's done or said was enough for me to vote for Hillary Clinton; though to be fair I've never liked her. Bill was okay, damned disrespectful of the Oval office, but alright. He fucked up with the housing thing, but other than that he did pretty well - him and Trump actually have a lot in common if you could find your way down off your partisan high horse to look for it...
In any event, just to tear your accusations of me all to shit; I am more apt to vote D on the local level than R - up here the R's are all in the oil companies pockets and sell us out, where as the D's actually put forward logical and realistic social programs and systems that can work and that I fully support.
