I've been voting since 1976
I've been voting in Presidential elections since 1976. I've voted for the Democratic candidate twice in all that time. Once, because Gerald Ford needed to go to get rid of the stench from the Nixon years. The second time was this past Tuesday for much the same reason. Do I love Joe Biden? No. Did I love Jimmy Carter back then? No. But it had to happen.End of story./

To Baumholder Germany....
Is that I do not recall a conversation in the barracks or at the Bar...in which party politics came up, names of politicos invoked, or anything of that kind..
It was basically, BABES, BIKE$, BOSE SOUND, BEER & BOSTON [ not the Sox.
... punctuated by bong hits....
But it had to happen. End of story.
I think Merc would deem you a real Republican, which she views as different from a Trump supporter.
I've always been a registered Independent.
I've mostly voted Independent candidates through the years. Merc knows I voted for the Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson, in the last election. The Libertarian candidate, this time around, was Jo Jorgenson. She was an anti-masker. NEXT!
A man like Donald Trump will never get my vote. Biden was the only viable option.
Btw, Jimmy Carter did not turn out to be a very good President, but he was the best human being to hold the office in my lifetime.
Unfortunately; most of electors in US vote for the club they support, without giving it any consideration.
These people do not vote for policies, or for a a fiscal, economic or social programs. They voted for the club.
btw; those political programs are a just bunch of mounting ambiguities. all
It's a dilemma I have often found myself in: vote in terms of what I believe in, or vote to get rid of what I believe is most reprehensible.
There is an integrity in both, but one is more uncomfortable than the other.
Newsflash I was wrong. People like me were the silent majority and clearly we were heard.
This country could not afford another 4 years of that dictator.
I liked watching the Apprentice too...but reality tv stars do not make good political figures...their ego gets in the way as well as their lack of knowledge...
Ahhh, but you worked it out eventually.
When it comes to American politics I would be classified as an Independent
Hey...the orange man is gone now...
Wonder if he is going to start a reality tv show now...
Lou it's true he's coming back to try again with he's family..That's the bloody reality show
There are things I disliked and liked about Reagan, but he clearly was a more forceful and charismatic person. He was needed at the time. I could have done without him tripling the national debt, though.
