You are endorsing racism. You can spin it any way you want, but the fact remains that you support a racist, and therefore you too must be racist in some way.

If you condone racist speech and racist policy as a convenient way to get a tax cut or own the libs or whatever flimsy rationalizations you make, you might be a racist.

So keep that in mind the next time you get your panties in a twist over someone calling Republicans racist.

It's better than reading a bunch of flashy words amounting to nothing, isn't it?

Damnit. I wasn't planning on voting for Trump. However, now I know that voting for the opposition is like voting for one of those crazy protestors in PCU. So conflicted...

Wow - you are so good at false equivalencies! Another predominant characteristic of Republicons.

Donald Trump Once Considered Setting 'Blacks Against Whites' On 'The Apprentice'

"Stern asked whether "very dark blacks or light-skinned blacks" would appear. Trump said there would be an "assortment." The whites, Trump continued, would probably all be blondes."

The OP was so stupid, so obviously a logical fallacy outlined many times, that a gif was seemingly the only appropriate response.

I didn't know that supporting Obama in 2008 meant one supported domestic terrorism, racism, anti-semitism, and anti-LGBT marriage equality. Gonna check my virtue.

I'll spell it out in simple words for you. If you support and encourage a racist candidate, then you are condoning (giving a thumbs-up to) racism. You may not be overtly racist, but you are racist-adjacent.

Forgetting the culture war issues (and my sense is Trump is using prejudice as a political weapon) for the moment, I can't see any moderate voter like myself voting for him. He simply is not an option for a variety of reasons. That does not mean the Democratic Party is going to provide an option for the moderate voter either. Not a good place to be in today's political environment.

Are there any mental health professionals out there willing to share what the diagnosis of his mental condition is? The term "paranoid delusional" rings a bell from college.

You're not a moderate and there are plenty of ways you'll convince yourself voting for Trump is the "lesser of two evils."

Well neither th eMrs. our me are voting for him, and she actually is a registered GOP. Regardless of how you want to evaluate me (and frankly I don't care), he isn't getting our vote. Doesn't mean the Democrat is either. But it won't be Trump.

And that is why you're not a moderate. Because you're not voting against Trump. It's so unthinkable for you to vote for a Democrat that you'd rather vote for the 2020 version of Gary Johnson so you can tell your liberal friends that you have standards and that you won't support Trump, but you won't vote for somebody where that vote could actually help defeat him.

BNL - you know, my political leanings are likely much closer to yours than to WIAF's. But I think your point would carry more weight here if WIAF lived in a state that was remotely in doubt. I don't know the man, but I think he lives in SoCal. California is going to go blue even if a million WIAFs vote Libertarian or whatever. I also live in California and will vote Dem myself, but it really doesn't matter. (Caveat: the down-ticket stuff does matter).

WIAF, what if hypothetically you and Mrs Furd lived in Pennsylvania or Michigan or Wisconsin? I think you've already said you'd vote for Biden and maybe Harris in the general election Did I get that right? But not Sanders or Warren? Any other Dems you would actually vote for rather than just voting 3rd party if you lived in a swing state?

This is the dilemma, or one of them anyway. I don't want Biden for a whole host of reasons that have been articulated. I don't think he will energize anyone. But it seems like the suburban (i.e. swing) voters in those 3 states (PA, MI, WI) do prefer him. Obviously I will vote for Biden over Trump if that's the choice, but my pessimistic prediction is that Trump will win, given the electoral college situation. The one Dem candidate that has the best shot to deliver PA, MI, WI suburbs is the one that the most energized part of the Dem party (myself included) wants least. And we are not currently at a point where Florida/Arizona/North Carolina is a likely avenue for Dem electoral success (and Ohio is just plain gone).

LOL you're not this! You're no that! I don't care to understand other people, but If you don't vote the way I do, you're a bad person! Everybody please notice me and my virtue!

You are smart enough to know that a vote for an independent would be a vote for Trump.
Well, not in CA with all/none electoral college.
You get a pass by the skin of your teeth.
If you were in a swing state, though, I'd excoriate you!!

Nah. It's all about polish with this guy. He wants to fit in with his liberal friends and so he paints this picture of himself that isn't remotely true. But you read enough of what he writes and it's plain that he doesn't believe any of it.

Name Trump's racist policies and how they have hurt the offended race.

If it helps your understanding, I know plenty of Dems that won't vote Democratic if the candidate is Bernie Sanders or someone similar. even to defeat Trump. Clearly you won't recognize a moderate voter if one fell from space on top of you.

If you don't understand that people won't vote for someone that they disagree with, than you can follow the Decmocratic socialists over the cliff, along with all your thumb-up guys. You don't get it. Just look at how many feet voters there were in Trump-Clinton than the prior election.

I wish it could have been a different Republican but Trump is the lesser of two evils. The bigger evil is the self-righteous and secular left, who claim moral superiority as a group and want to shove their ideology down our throats. No different than the obnoxious, self-righteous preachers who shout down their congregations telling them they're all going to hell.

Yes, concentration camps and racism are so superior to moral superiority.

The nation's political climate via the media, entertainment industry, and higher education have shifted to the left. Classic liberals have disappeared since there's no place for them to stand. It's polarized more than ever, who can claim to be moderate?
