If you can point me in the direction of an even moderate Democrat, except Fetterman, then we can discuss other options

I would love for democrats to run actual viable alternatives to republicans because I do get frustrated with republicans. The problem, however, is that the democrat party offers no reasonable alternatives. Higher taxes, caffeine standards, pro-trans, pro open borders. Just GTFO. I will never vote for people who promote such awful policies.

Primary them, but vote for the party because being in control of those congressional committees is very important.

I don’t think there has been any administration that lived up to everything they promised on the campaign trail

As said by someone else. I don’t always vote for republicans but I can never vote FOR Islamic gender abortion loving communist. EVER. The devil could run as a republican and I’d vote for him over any democrat.

Yes. I view Republican no matter what. But that isn't because I love them. There just quite simply is no other legit choice. I would vote for your dead dog over ANY Democrat

I know a lot of people that blindly vote Democrat/Republican even when their affiliation fails to deliver on their promises.

Do you...

A. Blindly vote for your Political affiliation regardless of their failures & broken promises
B. Hold them accountable by sitting out the election
C. Punish them by actually voting for the opposing Political Party


I always vote for who I think is the best person for the job. It's best to research the candidates and vote for the one who you think will do the best job for the position.

Which one is that? I'm pretty sure D is not sane. R as a party isn't either.

No fricking way do I vote democrook, the party of fa gg ots, troons, moslems, marxists, illegal aliens, and feral brownfolk. So no, I do not blindly vote “R”. I vote “R” for very good reasons, mainly, the continued marginalization of substandard humans who deserve to be marginalized.

When Democrats are as awful as they are, I vote GOP even if I have to hold my nose, which I did for Trump in his first General.

As weak as the right has been, the looney left leaves me no choice.

Only good in theory. Alas. They vote with their party so uniformly that this approach is dumb

I do. I play there long game there. But I hope to gawd some new republicans come to the front and lead. I'd much rather be voting for a 42 year old running for the senate in Texas.

Yes. I’m a Republican and will down vote Republican this election. I absolutely don’t support or agree with everything that is happening right now, but the alternative is absolutely not an option.

What is happening right now with the Democratic Party is sickening. I highly encourage anyone that is a reasonable Democrat to think twice about what your party is doing and where it is headed!

Vote accordingly or be a part of seeing our country destroyed!

I sit out and send a strong message by my abstaining from voting. When the Democrat wins (which is essentially what I’m hoping for by ultimately compiling less votes for the candidate of my party), that Republican candidate’s gonna be like “I wish I had done exactly what davyjones demanded, i.e. complied with his list of principles and priorities!” Sure, could the Democrats together destroy the country beyond what my preferred candidate can even “fix,” so be it, should’ve satisfied me as a principled conservative.

It’s either my way, or the highway to hell.


I kid of course, and I’m not even gonna read through all the comments because I can only imagine how sad and unfortunate many of them are.

Why not go with option D. Vote bad politicians out of your Party during the primary? Sitting out and letting Democrats win is stupid.

In Texas, we voted out Corryn and Crenshaw. Your stay at home vote would result in Talafreako.
