But what the Demo party is up to and what they stand for is diametrically opposed to how they started. Let me describe it like this: A republican doesn't like a tv show, he changes the channel A dumocrap doesn't like a tv show, he wants it banned, the network shut down and the producers to be jailed I agree with your first point, but we're back to that whole stereotyping thing. I'm a Democrat, not a bit ashamed, though I have voted for Republicans (and even one Conservative candidate). I'm cool with changing the channel, trust me, I'm used to seeing past politics since 90% of my friends and family have differing views. I know several other Democrats that fit that bill as well, and a few Republicans who fall into the banning and jailing category. In fact, I seem to remember a chant...."Lock Her Up!" wasn't that a thing. In the end, we've all got a little bit of black kettle in our DNA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrelwhisperer Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 You are passionate about your beliefs. I respect that. But we will continue to disagree. Trump may not be a polished aristocratic president, he may even be a bit unrefined at times. He may not always keep his mouth shut when he probably should, but one thing he does and does well, is care about America and Americans. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As are you, and like you said, nothing wrong with that, and it certainly is what makes this country great. Trump will not get a vote from me, which I'm sure keeps him up at night, however, caring about American and Americans is not owned by a single party, there are plenty of Democrats and Republicans who do, and a whole lot of them who are in it for themselves.

True. Our votes are not keeping him up at night. I almost completely agree with you statement about them being in it for themselves with exception to the number. I think it is much closer to 100% on both sides, which leads me to my point about why I like Trump. He is truly out to try to help our country, not himself. He already lead a very comfy Billionaire lifestyle before this. He didn't need it. Ok, he arguably did it for the fame. I'll give you that, but the man is trying to better this place for all of us, Democrats included. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 100% is a little pessimistic, I think their are some really good people in government, people who genuinely want to do a good job for their constituents, but you're right, my number might be a little low Your end point is where we take separate views, but it's not worth arguing over, we're not going to change each other's mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I'm leaning towards the Pete corner right now. He doesn't have a lot of particulars, but he's the most sensible middleish candidate. I'll have a hard time with Bernie, but I'm certainly not voting for Trump. Have you seen what he did for the Shithole known as South Bend? Not to mention he's a communistSent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read, it looks like he did a good job as mayor of a city that was really struggling, but I don't know enough to vouch for the accuracy of that, nor have I been to South Bend.

eaglemountainman Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Interesting quote I heard this morning ...someone said if Mayor Pete doesn't win the nomination for president, he'd be more than happy to fill the number two slot. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just can’t wrap his head around why we only get to choose between 2 candidates as you mentioned before. With Pete begin the furthest from the extreme Dem candidate he may sneak in. His sexual orientation may be a hindrance however(shouldn’t be but mid America may not be ready)zSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
