    I honestly wonder what I’d do if a non-maga candidate replaced trump. Not vote for them, but I might vote for a third party at that point. Unless something changes, it wouldn’t much matter; my voter registration is in a place that is very comfortably red so I’m not going to be able to change that.

      You can still affect local elections, which arguably will have a greater impact on your day to day life anyway.

          I vote for whom I want in the primaries

          Boomer Democrat voters in the 2020 primaries: That’s cute you think you have a voice. We’ve already chosen a geriatric establishment white man.

        I live in a similar red area and democrats need to come back here for the local change to happen. More than half of local seats only have a Republican option. There are almost as many Libertarians running as democrats. The democrats gave up on way too many rural areas.

        Didn’t you say you were never going to post here again after accusing the mods of being Zionist genocide supporters?

        Just curious.

            So, did you set a specific date for when you’re going to leave this community like you said you would? Because I know if I thought the mods were…. “Genocide supporting zionists”, I wouldn’t feel comfortable supporting their community with content for any longer than I had to.

              A community that only gets to see one view of the world is the one that most needs factual correction.

              Why does reddit r/conservative ban anyone that opposes their viewpoints? They want to keep the echo chamber going.

                So you lied. Inferring that lies should come from someone that’s banned for misinformation so often.

                Who’d have thought it could happen.

                    You said you weren’t going to post here anymore because the mods were “Zionist genocide supporters.”

                    Two lies there.

                    One: You’re still posting here.

                    Two: The mods are definitely not Zionist genocide supporters.

                    If you lack the strength of conviction it takes to simply restrain from backing up your own words of protest, how can anyone take what you say seriously? Add in the fact that a lot of what you say is complete misinformation….

          Damn Trump didn’t lie about WMD’s in Iraq killing >1 million people but he’s a convicted sex offender! That’s so much worse!

            Treason Trump supports War Criminal Putin whose killed many millions in Ukraine. Bush was terrible too but historians rank Convicted Felon and Rapist Treason Trump as the absolute worst for his neofascist attacks on democracy and the rule of law and Treason Trump will still be ranked dead last 50 years from now and 100 years from now.

            How sad is it when being a certified rapist is not even Treason Trump’s worst crime?
