This is getting frustrating. How can we ever move on to implementing solutions, if folks can't stop talking in terms of "democrat" and "republican", instead of what they are specifically running on by the issues? Ask yourselves what it is you need this person to do for the country and your community and then ask them the questions that reveal what they think about those issues. If they have no awareness of the issues, or swing in the wrong way, let people know, and don't support them. Don't pretend they are a win just because they claim to be republican. If they answer with party slogans, question them further and further, and more and more specifically. It's a process of qualifying them. By qualifying them we'll weed out the charlatans and get the competition for honorable candidates rising.

Political Parties have become Machines of control.
Your candidate is presented TO you, by BY you at primaries and this is counter to democracy.
How to create a grassroots candidate without being co-opted or misled without creating a monster that controls from the top down?
Original Constitution didn't mention political parties!
Whoever got the most votes was President.
Whoever came in second was Vice President.
It was changed only to gain control....
Ah, someone who remembers their civics lessons. Excellent, and yes...that's correct. 😎👍
The two party system was set to divide, which it has, since its inception. All of it was arranged this way, not by accident, to keep the people warring against one another instead of keeping check on Government.

I'm filing this one under "Getting Involved".
You're preaching to the choir here, man. I'm pretty sure everyone on this .win is well aware that almost all Republicans are uniparty low lives.
Don’t even crank that Republican uni party bus around here! I could get on that soap box for hours. 😂 The Republican Party is literally a joke and we’re the punch line. They mock us behind our backs, think they’re better than us, and have zero intentions of fighting for their constituents best interests. They are masterful though, at political theatre and turning on their “righteous indignation” when we’re all watching. They’re Judases, the whole lot of them! 🙄
Why do you think the term RINOs was invented? To help excuse away bad behavior by Republicans.
and yet, too many posts on the site that are the equivalent to "vote blue no matter who."
Not really, I don't see that often.
In any case, at some point you're left with two candidates total, one D one R. The D will always vote against. The R will have to at least pretend sometimes even if they both fuck you.
Yep. Falling for tribalistic bullshit was our first mistake. The only platform should be upholding the Constitution and functioning as a maintenance mode government. Everything else is regional. Our reps are supposed to put our State's interests first. Our government hasn't represented us for many many many years. It represents the interests of corporate lobbyists.
So no. Do not settle. Ever. Again. The two party system was always an illusion.
