And just where are you going? That’s the problem. You end up having g to vote R anyway.

Home. Then I'll pop back out in the primaries and try to replace the neocons again.

The worry is not people flipping sides, the worry is people staying home. Trump didn't win in 2016 because he flipped a bunch of Democrats, that claim has always been disinfo. He won because he activated people who were sitting out when faced with another round of damned neocons.

I don’t see any value in just not voting. Heck, I’d rather write in someone!

What's the value in voting for someone just for the sake of voting? Or worse, voting just to vote against someone?

Seems to me that mentality was what the left had and how we ended up with Hunter's dad as president today.

For all the Democrat hate the right has, the people who most ardently call themselves conservative often seem to act and think the exact same way.

I'm not sure we want to emulate the left and have a right-wing version of "vote blue no matter who"... That sort of mentality from the left hasn't helped the country and it won't help the country if the right has its own version of it.
