The Republican Party is an embarrassment and it’s most glaring on a local level


Even though I’m a believer in the theoretical underpinnings of what republicans are supposed to stand for that never end up transferring to reality, I would never go to a local Republican event because it’s a bunch of grown up closeted drama club/student government kids who work for their dads law firm or car dealership


I would have more common ground in a trade union meeting

This is my opinion, too. The people who claim the parties are the same need to have their brains examined.

Yes, I used to be a Democrat that rarely voted for Democrats. Now I am a Republican who never votes for Democrats.

I'd vote for my state rep. She was a Dem but now is I after the Black Dems got mad at her. Very effective and does great at getting bills passed her constituents want. Same district has a GOP state sen. At this point, I'd vote for her over a Republican because she is damn good at what she does.

Historically, I’ve never been bound by party. For example, my first national vote was for Nixon. I voted for a Dave Treen rather than Edwin Edwards.
However, I can’t see myself voting for the current iteration of what used to be the Republican Party(that party has been thoroughly corrupted).

I have some problems with the Republican party, but could never vote for a Democrat. I would consider voting third party, if it wouldn't assure a Democrat victory.


Congrats, you are apart of the problem

A lot of people on this site think I’m a liberal but I’m easily further to the right than the majority of this board.

I’ll vote for an independent if I know he doesn’t vote left. Otherwise I vote GOP.

Sadly, I voted for Clinton during his first run. Looking back, I wish I would have voted for Perot.
I did vote for Perot in 1996.
Then sadly felt like I had to vote Bush as a vote against Gore.
Voted Ron Paul in 2008 and 2012 and then Gary Johnson in 2016. That was the last time I voted libertarian.
Voted against Biden by voting for Trump and against Harris by voting for Trump
Local, state, and congressional elections I tend to vote R or I unless there is a blue dog that really outshines the R or I candidate but that rarely happens.
