Yeah, that's not walking. That's sulking in the back of the bus and bitching about the driver everyone else chose without your input. You're still along for the ride.
Nope. You clearly see elections differently than I do. It's not gang warfare. It's the nation asking each of us "Who would be the best leader?" It's up to us whether we answer honestly, or try to game the system.
Democracy depends on people casting their votes honestly. Strategic voting (voting for someone other than your preferred candidate based on second guessing what other voters will do) distorts the outcome. If everyone plays that game we have no idea what voters really want. Worse yet, if most voters are only voting out of fear, it encourages campaigns to focus on creating ever more fear - demonizing opponents and further dividing the country.
If you're deciding on anything BUT policies at this point, then I'm afraid I simply can't respect your choice or the standards you use to make it.
Really? Character doesn't matter at all to you? It does for me - at least at some point. If someone is a compulsive liar and has no discernable principles, there's no telling what they'll do next. And that's Trump in a nutshell.
If that doesn't matter to you, then I'm afraid I can't respect your choice or the standards you use to make it either.
It was one thing when he was a complete unknown, policy-wise, and all there was to go on were his words and personal behavior. But I have to say that now that we have two clear records to compare and contrast, being all precious about personality quirks is like worrying that the deck chairs aren't straight on the Titanic.
And both records suck hind tit. I won't be supporting either. I won't willingly support a candidate if I believe they will make things worse.
