    There IS no 'other' party.... ;)

    I haven't voted 'straight' ticket since I can't remember when.

    I have respect, and have voted for candidates on all sides of the great divide.
    REMEMBER that no matter how big they are, canyons can and often DO have more than two sides.

    Have voted for other parties.

    How many Dem politicians have been labeled a DINO or such for voicing differences with the party leadership?

    It looks like the poll says that, my mistake, but the context is 2021, after Jan 6 and after the dems won. I don’t think dems would be on board with Biden if he attacked the Capitol to stop the final certification in January 2025, which he could have done the same way 45 did. I wouldn’t be on board, I would want him prosecuted. Maga stayed with 45, always defending him.

    Probably as many DINOs as RINOs.....
    Senator Fetterman comes to mind even though he probably votes the donkey side of the issues more than nine times out of ten, and I'll betcha there are some Donkeys who are pooping in their stalls over not picking the Jew (Shapiro) or the Conservative Redneck (Beshear) instead of the useless idiot that they ran with the other useless idiot that forced this Never Trumper to ONCE AGAIN face the fact that our Creator REALLY REALLY doesn't like me to use that word.

    I've sparred with conservatives over McCain, McConnel, Romney, et al.
    I pretty much agree with them about MGT :ROFLMAO:- although my opinions about her are largely unchanged over the last months.
    Was a moron.
    Is a moron.

    She has LOTS of company.
    Looking at YOU Crocket.....:LOL:

    Came close on Ford but he only pardoned one and missed the Vietnam War protesters. Ford left that to Carter whom I did vote for and Carter pardoned them.

    Voting involves two parts: (1) policy, and; (2) character. When I don't like either candidate, I vote Democratic.

    Bob Wilson

    ps. I suspect this was the thread meant for this post:

    It makes more sense here than the pot experiment thread.

    This thread was very prescient. Yes I will be more cautious just like this guy from Texas wants. I wouldn’t want to die due to disrespecting a masked ice agent. Or just walking by them. Ok well reality is here, the government no longer allows dissent or free speech if it is critical of the king. King says disrespect is worthy of shot to death. Never thought to see these days.
    Oh, it’s msn reporting that says maga.

    Voted Democratic, every President thru the current Cheetolini... and no plans to change that save some colossal, catastrophic sea change in the flat-foots.

    Must say, do agree with:

    And holy moly, quite a few of candidates on the Dem side weren't my faves in my voter history. But when all else fails, vote with your conscience -- which is a helluva lot easier now. If a standup candidate on the gop side, not just a gum-agile Mouth of Sauron for a bunch of profiteering thugs, had the bravery and an actual effing plan to make this country a better place for all its citizens (plus improve our standing in the free world amongst our many teetering Allies)... of f***ing course I'd consider a vote for them. But that hasn't and won't be the case probably another generation, if ever.

    I don't remember people being shot in the street point blank by the reigning-goon-ordered ICE-stapo... or illegally invading a sovereign country to distract from an expose on the sitting not-my-President's crimes... or SNAP benefits cut by nearly half, when Dems were head of the Executive Branch :(

    Relevant to this thread:

    Homeland Security wants social media sites to expose anti-ICE accounts

    [from NYT] "SAN FRANCISCO — The Department of Homeland Security is expanding its efforts to identify Americans who oppose Immigration and Customs Enforcement by sending tech companies legal requests for the names, email addresses, telephone numbers and other identifying data behind social media accounts that track or criticize the agency.


    In recent months, Google, Reddit, Discord and Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, have received hundreds of administrative subpoenas from DHS, according to four government officials and tech employees privy to the requests. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

    Google, Meta and Reddit complied with some of the requests, the government officials said. In the subpoenas, the department asked the companies for identifying details of accounts that do not have a real person’s name attached and that have criticized ICE or pointed to the locations of ICE agents. The New York Times saw two subpoenas that were sent to Meta over the past six months.

    The tech companies, which can choose whether or not to provide the information, have said they review government requests before complying. Some of the companies notified the people whom the government had requested data on and gave them 10 to 14 days to fight the subpoena in court. ..."


    Does PriusChat receive any of these subpoenas? Fortunately I've never registered for logins at Meta / Reddit / Discord, just Google, but don't do any social media there either.
