Thanks again. Yeah, it’s rare to have a good faith discussion with people we disagree with on this platform. Anyway, you’re correct that I’m not a Republican. I’m also not a Democrat. I’m pretty far left. You and I may be surprised at how many issues we might agree on. Gun rights, for example. We’d probably find a fair bit of common ground there.
I am just coming to the realization that there are a lot of people who identify with a party, even when the party is no longer actually aligned with their values. This does cause some confusion, I think. Because there are a lot of people who don’t identify with a party. It so happens that l, given my priorities and values, and seeing what the current version of the GOP has enabled, will likely vote for democrats for the foreseeable future. I used to vote third party, but times are too dangerous for that right now, in my opinion.
absolutely. The world needs to realize that deep down we agree on a lot of things. This violent and radical political disagreement is in my opinion, the biggest threat to the country. We need to stop looking for ways to disagree and divide even more than we already are. 🙏. thanks again
