What's your story?

Former Democrat who did a 180 and became a Republican, now former Republican who knows both parties are full of shit.



I wouldn't disagree with you but the only way to push the pendulum the other way is to vote Democratic on November 6.

2. You didn't get the house in 2016.
3. You didn't get the senate in 2016 (like you were supposed to.
4. So...we have Niel Gorsuch
5. We have Brett Kavenaugh.
6. RBG won't last 2 more years.
7. You won't get the senate in 2018.

But you guys are in control.

Always have been a Conservative Republican and would still be voting that way since the left are stark raving lunatics. Bush really disenchanted me but the other option was even worse.
Thank God Trump came along,he's the closest thing to a third party in my lifetime.


Goddamn, third party??? LOLOLOLOLOL!
There are plenty of him running around in places like Oklahoma, Georgia and Kentucky, honey.
Except they aren't wearing Gucci suits and they don't dye their hair platinum blonde and buy hair spray by the case.
But they DO agree with Donald that women are worthless vessels to be exploited.

("third party"...bahahahahahahaha)

So state the cases where Trump claimed women were useless.
You cant stand the fact that Trump has done amazing things with our economy and jobless rates.
You'd rather see America fail than to see Trump succeed.

Guess you missed that Hollywood Access tape.
If I thought you were nothing more than a (tiny) dick in a Speedo, and called you a pig or a dog, what would your impression be?
What if I said you were "bleeding from your eyes and your...whatever" as he said of Megyn Kelly?
Sorry if you're so fucking stupid you need more information than that.

Trump did not start out with a full blown recession when he took office. He started out at the top of an 8-year recovery with the Dow at 20,000. Not 7900 as Obama did.
And pay attention to something besides Fox and his rallies.
He's fucking things up grandly.

One other thing I've learned over the years, most voters are clueless, emotive idiots......... Ex-Republicans, ex-Democrats are as rabid as ex-smokers........ Enjoy your political rhetoric though, it's all you have. :thup:

But 45% voted for Trump.

You can't do enough to keep losing...apparently.l

Yes, you continue to show how ignorant you are.

You don't reverse it...you overturn it.

Then it goes back to the states.

About 30 states will pass more liberal abortion laws at that point.

20 will restrict and those in the 20 can go to one of the 30 to get one.

Anything else you'd care to show us you know nothing about ?

Now's the time to share that journey bruh.

I'm curious.
Child of the 60s/70s, was a democratic socialist before it was cool. Began to moderate in college then ended up in No Virginia, D.C. where I became involved in national politics. Didn't take me long to see the lies, bull shit and hypocrisy which pushed me further right. Eventually took a years worth of business classes, started a business and became born again throwing me into the religious right category, sorta. After a few years working on the inside of the national RNC I saw the same crap the I witnessed in the DNC, besides my academic background finally overcame my emotive partisanship and I moderated completely to the point that I've basically become a political agnostic.
Good story.

Being a Christian and being a Republican is like trying to mix oil and water.

I grew up in a Repub family, my dad worked for Halliburton. My mom and siblings are still die hard Repubs. I supported but could not vote for Reagan his first time and I voted for him the 2nd go around and I voted for Bush I. He was the last Repub I voted for. I voted for Bill in 92 and that was the last and only Dem I ever voted for.

By that time I started to belive it was all just make belive, that the differences between the two parties were nothing more than a few social wedge issues, that fundamentally they were the same.

While I am not a huge fan of his, Chomsky got it right when he said this...

In the US, there is basically one party - the business party. It has two factions, called Democrats and Republicans, which are somewhat different but carry out variations on the same policies. By and large, I am opposed to those policies. As is most of the population.

Highly partisan response but not unexpected.
 
I was raised in a Republican Family. Voted for Reagan and Bush 41 twice. Believed in Jack Kemp and supported Nelson Rockefeller and Jacob Javits. admired Barry Goldwater

By the Mid 90s, Republicans were the party of Newt Gingrich, Jesse Helms and Strom Thurman. I did not like the idea that these were the guys representing my party. The partisan impeachment over a blowjob and blatant policy making for the rich turned me off

Been voting Democratic since
 
i'm a former Obama supporter who now likes trump. i like politicians based on character, not policy or politics
 
You forgot to include the most important democrat social demographic "Im an illegal alien but I plan to circumvent the process and vote for the party that advocates open borders".

It is really hard if not impossible to deny that both parties suck.



Of course but one party provides jobs and a low cost of living (hope) the other provides unemployment and welfare (no hope)
