"As a Republican, I've Been Teased for Decades. Now I'm Leaving Because of Trump."

Very powerful testimonial. The parallels between Trump and Hitler are most alarming, and it's edifying to see that I'm not the only one who has noticed them.

 

And yet, we continue to slide down the chute of history like a greased pig.

 

This is not an uncommon story and we have many examples here on this board. Life long republicans are saying “I want to remain a republican but I do not want to support Trump because he does not stand for republican values”

 

I find it very hard to understand, without resorting to the assumption of stupidity or immaturity or vindictiveness, on why a person would support a man like Trump. Not supporting Trump in no way means you should or have to support a Democrat. It may be shocking to hear it, but in this country you can vote for whomever you want. You don't have to be stuck with the turds regularly thrown our way by the Democrats and Republicans.

With this in mind, I have a hard time buying the "we must vote to keep the other guy out" mantra. And I've been done with that since 2012. I will not use my precious vote to choose a lesser of two evils. I will choose a non-evil. We all have this power. The two party system we have here and the turds they give us are an entirely self-inflicted mental prison we have built for ourselves. And being that it's a mental prison, one can just choose to walk out.

So do it. Stop supporting turds like Trump and Biden. Vote for someone that represents you and do it for a reason that isn't one that would make a 6th grader seem mature by comparison. Trump spite voters, I'm looking straight at you.

 

I never belonged, affiliated or identified with either major party and never will. I like being a free agent where I alone can decide what issues to support or oppose based on their merits as I see them regardless of which party proposed them. I really dislike those who do belong, affiliate or identify with both major parties acting like mindless robots following their party leaders lead opposing what their party leaders tell them to and supporting what their party leaders tell them to do. Not thinking for themselves but willing to march lock step with the beat of the drum with whichever party leaders tell them to .

The same goes for candidates, I vote for the candidate I like regardless of party, against the candidate I don't regardless or party and at times against both major party candidates because I disliked both.

I'm sick and tired of folks calling the other side racist and or socialist and communist only because they have a differing point of view, ideology or political philosophy. I'm sick and tired of those from one party always referring to the other party's elected officials as Hitler, Stalin, Genghis Khan or Attila.

Most of all, I'm sick and tired of both major parties putting the good of their party above the good of the country and their loyalty to party and not the nation. Both major parties need to go, to be tossed out the window onto the trash heap of history. Either that or this country is doomed.

 

Biden is a decent man. Trump is not.

If you have evidence against Biden, supply it. The evidence on Trump is overwhelming.

 

Wow, what is it now 25,000 walk aways from the democrat party to now 1 walk away from the Republicans, only 24999 to go and we are tied.
