Letters from the politically homeless

[Billiejeens]

Almost every Democrat voting for Trump has a story about being ostracized, shamed or losing a friend

Since my last column, headlined ‘Why I won’t vote’, I’ve received hundreds of emails from others who feel politically homeless. I’ve also heard from many who have voted Democrat or Republican their entire lives and, for the first time, in 2020 will vote for the opposite party. Lifetime conservatives are voting for Biden. Independents are being radicalized to vote red or blue. People who didn’t vote for Donald Trump in 2016 are enthusiastically voting for him now.

I even heard from a guy who hasn’t voted since Nader but is coming out to support Trump. Many who identify as ‘politically homeless’ are opting to vote third party or, like me, not to vote in the presidential category at all. (Allow me to clarify something I should have made clear in my previous column: I will be voting down ballot.)

I recognize the limitations of anecdotal evidence. But reading hundreds of emails, one starts to see patterns. My overall gut instinct from everything I’m hearing is that I won’t be at all surprised if Trump wins in a landslide — and that the only person who can beat Donald J. Trump is Donald J. Trump.

Yes of course, there is no positive message that the democrats are offering. Their message is to take the greatest that humanity ever achieved and burn it all down. It is unacceptable and against every value the American people stand for.

If you hate America, blame America for all the problems on earth, and want to punish Americans for what they have done, vote Democrat.

If not vote republican.

This is just the reality of the times. 20 years from now, it could be the opposite.

Doubtful -
But maybe.

I do believe that there are some, I don't think that is even in question.

On what positions is Biden more conservative than Trump?

There may exist "politically homeless", but this is a war between good and evil, and most people have chosen.

He's not Trump.

This election isn’t about conservatism versus liberalism. It’s about Americans versus un-Americans, aka the Communists.

I never considered myself politically homeless but that's a good description based on my voting record.

Both houses are filled with loons paralyzed by tribalism. Better to be avoided.

Also "not involved or relevant" works.

What drives me looney is when I get to wondering about our 2 major political parties taking into account all our choices of denominations we have just in the Christian faith alone. It becomes even more senseless to me when accounting for the Jews, Hindus, Muslims atheist, agnostics, etc. Luckily by this time my frame of thought reverts from politics to the question of whether Mormons are Christians?
