Not sure what a crypto-conservative is, but I voted for Bill Clinton twice, Bush twice, Obama twice, then supported Bernie in the primary before ultimately having to vote for Hillary because trump is a complete shitbag. Will be voting for Joe in November.

You voted for W AFTER the Iraq War started? lol cool keep talking

Expand  

Biden if he says he won't actively veto progressive legislation.
If he continues with his position of promising to block M4A, I'll leave the top-line blank and vote straight D down-ballot.

I've voted for two Republicans in my life, both relatively liberal Houston-area judges I know personally who only ran R because it was the only way to get elected. I've never voted Libertarian. I have never, in my life, voted for anyone that would be considered conservative.

Well, if you don't vote for a Democratic nominee because they aren't progressive enough, you are supporting their opponent, presumably a conservative.

That's not how anything works.

By not voting for Biden, I'm supporting Trump.

By not voting Trump, I'm supporting... who?

He won’t answer this.

 He’s waiting until right before the election. Then Biden will do some imaginary act he doesn’t like and he will be forced to vote for Mack Brown for president.

For anyone not paying close attention, Biden did not "promise to block M4A". He gave a muddled, indirect response to a theoretical M4A question and BT is running with the worst interpretation of it.

Then he shouldn't have said he would, I guess. 

All he has to do is take that back and I'm in. I never in my wildest dreams would've imagined he would come out and say that, but he did, so here we are.

I'm willing to vote for him even though I believe his rape accuser. That's not even a deal-breaker for me. The idea that I'm just looking for an excuse is idiotic. Reade already gave me a perfect one if that was my goal. I am willing to vote for a rapist if he promises not to veto progressive legislation if it gets to him.

(I mean, I've already voted for a rapist twice (Clinton 2x), so what's the difference at this point?)

You're in good company on this website full of fellow W-voters who decided to become woke in the last 20 minutes, but if you think the moral scolding of a champion of the Iraq War means anything you're deluded.

Trump is absolutely better than W. Nothing Trump has done can even come close to matching the Iraq War. Not all of Trump's shit combined can match the Iraq War.

George W Bush should rot in the deepest pits of hell for eternity.

As I already posted, I have voted for two Republicans in my entire life, both liberal judges in the Houston area. Both of whom I met at HRC functions (not Hillary Rodham Clinton). I've never been a pedophile, so I've never voted Libertarian. Democrat all the way down. Volunteered for many Dem candidates.

40 years of being called a liberal by people like you only now to be scolded for being a Republican.

I actually agree with b_t that nothing in Trump's first term matches the invasion of Iraq in W's first term.  That is some historically bad shit, engineering a war for profit that killed hundreds of thousands of civilians.  I know they're brown and they don't love Jesus, but they still count.

But I still don't think people who voted for W's second term can be raked over the coals as easily as the fucking morons who are about to vote for Trump's second term.  We didn't yet know that the Iraq War had been waged on a fraudulent premise, not for certain.  And 9/11 was still a fresh wound.  And we were also fighting in Afghanistan, and by all accounts beating down the bad guys.  Don't get me wrong: voting for four more years of W was stupid for many reasons.  But it was also predictable.

But the people who are about to vote for Trump again in spite of the daily embarrassments, the fraying of alliances older than he is, his constant fuck-ups and deflections of blame and responsibility, his compulsive lies, his complete unwillingness to surround himself with anything but yes men, and the fact that he's fucking telling us with a straight face that he wants to be a despot...  

And people are gonna vote for him.  They've seen and heard all of that and he's gonna win again.  Then it's gonna get really bad.

And I'll repeat something I've said hundreds of times since his first election: in 25 years it will be impossible to find anyone who admits to voting for Donald Trump.  It'll be like trying to find one of the millions of people who bought Nickelback CDs.
