To boil it down to the central concept or that essay:

f a person is a life-long Democrat, a committed liberal, a passionate libertarian or a centrist-independent; a re-examination of what the Democratic party has demonstrated itself to stand for today is in order. They should then determine if that is what they, themselves, stand for.

Your obsession with what democrats believe and the Democratic Party is sad. Focus on republicans. Make them Better. Improve them. It’ll be far more fulfilling for you. We democrats don’t care one bit about your opinion of democrats and won’t spend an iota of time reevaluating our party or our beliefs.

If Trump loses, likely a high ranking member of the Republican party will make an announcement, with many Republican congressman standing beside him, and announce:


"Our long national nightmare is over."

More, please explain why anybody should join the MAGA movement? Nobody has made a case for that EVER. Trump only appeals to the worst instincts of Americans.

Actually, since he's running for a second term, wouldn't this be MAGA movement #2?

Tell us what you like not who you hate.

Well, I pretty much like the way the Republics party is moving right now. If we can get Mitch McConnel to retire and replace a few other "moderate" or country club Republicans it will be better. I'd like to have another Senator Cruse replace Senator Cornen here in Texas. Elsewhere, I'd hope that Sen. Dan Crenshaw is replaced with a true conservative.

In writing and posting the essay on the changes in the Democrat party, I was directing my remarks at those Democrats who have voted that way since the 1960 and '70s; folks who grew ujp in union families who perhaps go to church, belong to the VFW or participated in the FFA in high school. These may very well be people whose values are no longer congruent with the Democratic party of 024.

I have posted the text of that essay on other forums and other platforms. I welcome and encourage anyone to repost it in whole or in part, whether verbatim or in paraphrase, to any other site, forum or anywhere else they feel it should be seen.

Don't do the straight line bit at the ballot box (once by accident.)

Going through the League of Women Voters guide, which btw alot of republicans did not bother to answer, definitely a Libertarian i'm going for. Haven't went through all candidates yet.

The way I look at it, if we get a less-than-ideal Republican into a local or state office, we can bring in a better person through the primary process before the next election.

As Lucas McCain has pointed out . . .and I agree with him on this . . .one does not need to be all-in for a candidate to vote for them. He has said that what is importsnt to him is policy. I am wholeheartedly on board with that. I have never considered myelf to be a "MAGA Republican". I voted against Mr. Trump in his first primary, voting instead for the Libertarien.

I am thinking that Lucas and I may disagree on this or that specific policy isue, but we both feel that the consideration of policy fsar outweighs considerations of personality.

Lucas: I say that with respect and without intnt of being confrntational.

We won't be going in to that cold dark night. So get over it.
