To those who are planning to vote for republicans (if they are voting at all), I ask - is it because you hate democrats more or is it because you think there will be a change? Do you think it will fix the gun violence, it will address the inflation, issues of the working class?

As an upper middle class person, I simply vote republican because generally speaking it's better for my paycheck and investment accounts. While I agree with dems on most social issues (guns, abortion, etc), these simply don't really impact me, so they swing my vote.

I read a piece about a week ago that suggested people are just looking for a party that lets them or makes them feel like they can say and do whatever they want without consequences. So, terrible children.

For a time their home was the Democratic Party. Now it’s the Republican Party.

I think the Republican Party is far more dangerous, especially as we move toward their “voter fraud” enabled permanent majority.

That said, our main problem is that most voters are 💩 individuals.

I don’t care about guns or inflation. I am a single issue voter on masks and lockdowns. I am scared the democrats might force business closures and masks again at the drop of a hat and I want to penalize them for what they did in 2020 and 2021 wrt lockdowns.

VP1 - do you think Covid was unknown for children in 2021?
Why are masks (proven to not be very effective especially for children who tend to not wear them correctly anyway) prioritized over a child’s education and social well being?
We are seeing record rates of suicide in teenagers especially girls. School shutdowns were harmful. Why can’t we acknowledge there was a cost?

I would vote for an economy / business friendly candidate with a populist bent.

Democratic POSITIONS favor the working class on the face of it. The POLICIES are terrible and never work the way they’re intended.

I’d rather have someone regressive on social issues but advocates for a better life for the average middle class.

Democrats and Republican politicians are identical at this point. They’re just selling their wares to slightly different crowds and telling y’all to hate each other.
Regardless of what the media tells you, Republican politicians are no more heinous than Democrats. You’ve just bought into the feel good vibes of one side ✌🏽

Lifelong democrat and while i couldn’t see myself voting for one of the current republican options, I’m not thrilled with the dems or choices Biden has made. They certainly haven’t helped me personally, im not sure if they’ve done great for many others either, and i don’t feel the dem platform right now is super aligned to my interests. Biden’s insistence on dismissing obvious issues until he can’t (like inflation) or blaming problems like gas hikes on others like Putin is surprisingly juvenile and not much better than trump in that regard.

I also wish Biden would care a little more about things like the stock market - as much as i couldn’t stand trump, i have trouble believing he would have let the markets be this shitty for this long. Biden will barely acknowledge that a large swath of Americans are down a ton of money this year with no end in sight.

I stil feel that right now the dems are *more* the sane responsible adults in the room, and would never vote for an incompetent narcissist like trump. But if some Larry hogan or Charlie baker type figure was the nominee, promising a generally socially liberal (within reason) and fiscally conservative platform, I’d strongly consider.

There is a solid republican candidate in the State of Nevada that dems are scared of because he isn’t on the crazy end and actually makes sense. I plan to support him because as I grow professionally, financially and socially I notice a few things:

Republicans tend to protect the wallet - rightfully so, who works to the high heavens to be taxed into a Medieval-type financial system? They also seem to be heavy into supporting those who are contributing into the betterment of society, neighborhood and community - again not a bad thing. Don’t waste my taxes I pay to help people who don’t give a shit. The bad with Republicans is the deep outward racism, border-line insane rhetoric when outcomes don’t go their way, and the overly Christian mantras - which is why I pause on supporting most republicans. If they fixed that - Republican Party would make 1000% more sense. I wouldn’t vote for all Republicans, but I would have been open to supporting their reasonable candidates a long time ago.

Democrats - as a minority of color, I grew up being taught they are our friends and they look out for us “the people”. While I agree that we have to look out for the less fortunate, I don’t believe I should be taxed to the point I AM LESS FORTUNATE to help people that don’t want to be helped. Help the people who are actively seeking it and grinding to be in better positions - we need them. Before people cry about “the less fortunate” - I was the LESS FORTUNATE at a point in my life. I never did drugs, but I was homeless, family casted me out because I wasn’t understood. I was looked at as a weirdo and “trying to be white” by my surrounding circle of people because I wanted to make money, have a high paying career, become an entrepreneur and be successful. Not because I actually cared to be white… I took the help provided and made a way. I didn’t qualify for most programs because I wasn’t a druggie…but around the country we are seeing that you can’t help who don’t want it. Democrats have it right for looking out for the people, equality, and upholding freedoms and constitution - but the taxation to the high heavens and playing of social games has to stop. People aren’t going for it no more. The pandering to minorities is obvious too.

All and all - both come together at the end of the day to make decisions. My thought, is to vote for the best candidates from both sides - so I’m not hard core with either one. I just want the people who will make the best decisions for everyone. I have zero toleration for any politicians who ignore scholastic validations, human progression, the outlook of our future, sciences, etc;. That completes my TED Talk.

like

I’m voting GOP because Democrats are hell bent on turning this country into a 3rd world shit hole. They live in fantasyland and think socialism and social engineering is a good thing against all human nature and history to indicate otherwise. They demonize a large % of the population to placate a vocal minority, and care more about image and power than anything else. They have no morals or conscience, lie through their teeth with zero remorse, and are anti-science and anti-life. They have no respect for history or customs or tradition and live only for the current moment with zero thoughts of future consequences.

I’m not saying GOP is perfect, and many can also be described as much of above and worse, but they’re not (collectively as a political party) actively trying to destroy our society like Democrats are.
