    There is not much point in engaging in discussion with someone who thinks they have an entire group of people all figured out. It's a LOT of people. Treat them as individuals. Be well.

    Controversial opinion, but the time to define policy was before running for president. Like she did in 2016, when she had better policies. Anyway, voting for her regardless over the fascist. KAMALA 2024! Woo. Hoo.

    I would encourage you to be respectful regardless. No one will hear you if you are treating them with contempt.

    Personally I think that low taxes and small government are valid perspectives. Unfortunately many Republicans are really only in favor of those things in theory, as long as they apply to liberal ideas. Regardless, I think it's important to treat them as human, listen to their concerns and respectfully point out their hypocrisy when it happens. In the end, everyone is trying to do what is best for themselves and their families, and are only viewing problems and solutions through the echo chamber in which they take part. The way forward will involve listening, respect, and a bit of compromise.

    You're afraid to have a discussion with them. You're afraid to have a discussion with me. People are going to disagree sometimes, and that's ok. The path of the coward is to cut people out forever.

    Not all GOP people are MAGA. Some of them are into low taxes, religion or guns. We risk some variation of civil war if we lump all of those people together. Try to see them as human.

    I want Medicare For All and you think I could be a Trump supporter? You're not as clever as you think, we are nothing alike.

    I mean, at least she used to, before she started hanging out with Biden and dropped Medicare For All. Anyway, won't destroy democracy.

    That might work for any other Republican but this is Trump. He's the guy who tried to overturn the election, tried to force our allies to create scandals in exchange for aid, took care of Putin first during covid and told countless other lies. Any other Republican might be able to twist their record to win, but not him, his record it too extensive and insane.

    Harris could beat him on Fox, OAN, NewsMax or RT. She could do it anywhere and he knows it. He is a coward. If he had any backbone he would suggest another network.

    Perhaps, but you are here to stand on a soapbox and advocate for a third parties. You're not wrong, you're just a broken record and an being an ass about it. Read my comment above again. This isn't a regular election where people can just throw away votes on Jill Stein or Cornell West- unless of course you want Trump to win, and I'm starting to believe you do.

    Edit: similar user names, I am mixing up my satanists, my apologies.
