You should not invoke that name on INGO. You'd have known better if you were involved in the daylight saving time thread. I would ask for lenience on this transgression if I were you. I'm not saying INGO will grant it. But it couldn't hurt.That‘s quite a wall of text, I’ll do my best to address everything.
To start, I think you are taking some of your assumptions too far, and stretching the veracity of some of those conclusions. I don’t mean that in a disrespectful way.
I gave a broad example in my post of the type of candidate I would prefer to see from the Republicans, not a 1:1 critique of Trump (or any other candidate, for that matter).
Trump didn’t lose my vote due to his position on culture war issues…he lost my vote on trustworthiness and political competence. In my view he possesses neither.
I‘m saying I prefer a Mitch Daniels-type over a Mike Pence-type on the right and a Pete Buttigieg-type over a Stacey Abrams-type on the left.
Like, "they're destroying our democracy?" Any candidate that utters those words without specific and clear evidence of such should be shunned by any voter, if they have their head on straight.In messaging, I prefer substance over outrage, maybe that’s a better way of getting to the core of my point.
As far as specific culture war issues go, I have no interest in litigating them here.
For example, I disagree broadly with republicans when it comes to immigration, and I disagree enough with your framing of the issue that I doubt the two of us will find common ground there.
Wait. Did you just not want to litigate them and then bring one up? But, since you did, fair game. Do you understand Republican's position on immigration? Can you try to steelman it so that I can be confident that you disagree with their actual position rather than a straw man of it.
