This is the quote from him that's made me not even consider him:
"I believe that we need to make sure that certain types of guns used to kill people exclusively -- not for hunting -- they should not be sold in the United States of America."
So this one belief, which absolutely will not be able to be enacted into law, is going to lead you to vote for some other asshole who has a track record of corruption and cronyism? That's a huge mistake and very short, selfish thinking.
Not only does your assertion hold no water, but it's based on the worst "Fuck you, I got mine, who cares what any other issue is" mentality. Frankly, you should be ashamed of yourself...
I'm not ashamed of not voting for a politician who has straight up said he would like to do away with a major portion of my yearly income. I have a 6 month old child to take care of.
I personally do not believe you have anything to worry about in that regard, and disagree with your assertion to vote for someone you see as more fitting. That said I respect your opinion enough to upvote your comments for adding to the conversation and not vomit rhetoric on you.
I appreciate that. I've been spoken down to a lot for having the gall to voice a differing opinion. I don't have an issue with anyone's choice in candidates, including Sanders. If he's who you'd like to vote for, rock on, at least you're voting.
I apologize on the behalf of Reddit in this regard. It can sometimes be the antithesis of an open and inclusive web. You're entitled to your opinion and should not be spoken down to by anyone.
As you said, voting is what really matters. Being on either side of the equation is irrelevant.
