What does it matter if people can't even agree on what progress is.
You don't hate America enough to understand that progress is burning the American flag and banning air conditioning.

Voting R lets you keep your money. Voting D is to have other people's money given to you.
For me it's to undo the damage the dems have done to this country and what they are proposing to do in the future.I'm fiscally conservative and socially liberal, and used to vote R until the "christian" extremists took over the party 20-25 years ago. I was raised with Christian principles and try to practice them, but Republican policies are antithetical to everything that "love your neighbor" stands for.
Between hatred masquerading as religious freedom, racism and disenfranchisement under the guise of "preventing voter fraud", taking rights from women while pretending to "protect their health", attempts to deny access to health insurance, and the desire to destroy Social Security and Medicare, I couldn't take it any longer. And now they present a candidate for the most powerful position in the world who routinely insults almost everyone, has no grasp of how our system of government works, and has a temperament which is wholly unsuited for political leadership??
How on earth can anyone with a conscience support the Republican party?

You sound like a typical union guy
How about some facts for you....
The dems started every welfare progam out there.
Most of the dem voters are on those programs...that's why they keep voting democrat. They are the party of free stuff.
The amount of people on those programs has doubled under democrat rule.
There are actually fewer people with full time jobs and healthcare under the obamacare act.
The democrats are racist...they are the promoters of affirmative action BS. You have to hire minorities even though they aren't qualified.
Democrats are all about illegal immigration....not because we need the workers, but because they all come here and get on the govt. tit...and then vote democrat to stay there.
Democrats push the global warming scam because its about the taxes and money they get from it. Even the Brits. have given up on it.
Democrats want more and more power over the people, and they want (need) to take your guns away to get and keep that power.
Every city or state in this country that is run by democrats is a disaster and in financial ruin.
They aren't even calling themselves democrats anymore... they are socialist and communists
Take a good hard look a Europe or Venezuela ...that is whet socialism and communism gets you....and it's you future under the democrats
I have had several really good conversations with a co-worker/friend who is 180* different than I in her voting. Turns out, we want many of the same basic things. We just have completely opposite ideas how to get there.Having a conversation between two people who don't automatically assume the other is a complete idiot based on their political ideology would be a start. I've had a few conversations like that, it's amazing how two politically opposed people can have an intellectual conversation and both walk away having learned something about the other.
To be honest, I consider it a civil responsibility to engage in conversations like that. However, ANYONE who assumes that the other person is "miserable", "angry", "brainwashed", a "moron", or is simply a "gun grabbing libtard who wants to take away our rights" is completely incapable of engaging in intellectual conversation because their own prejudice and hatred will prevent them from allowing a two way conversation in the first place.
Where's the hatred please? I'd love an answer that doesn't sound like it came from the DNC or CNN.I'm fiscally conservative and socially liberal, and used to vote R until the "christian" extremists took over the party 20-25 years ago. I was raised with Christian principles and try to practice them, but Republican policies are antithetical to everything that "love your neighbor" stands for.

I have been pondering for quite awhile why a person would vote Democrat. I would really like to have an adult conversation of why someone would believe that the Democrats and their values are the right direction for America. Basically, give me your best sales pitch on leftist thinking...
Closing our borders? Common sense.
Not destroying Christian values but allowing preference to other faiths?
Racism on the top tier? How please.
There's nothing wrong in having ID to vote as you have to do to buy guns, cash checks, drive a motor vehicle.
So, who is paying the $660B defense bill this year? That's $2200 for EVERY American...
....No, there's nothing wrong with having an ID to vote. .....
Wait..... What's wrong with the hoops AMERICAN CITIZENS have to jump through to get an ID. I did it, you may have done it.......There is, however, something VERY wrong when you require people to jump through many hoops - be it time invested, travel, other paperwork, etc. - in order to obtain an ID. Especially when there's little or no evidence of voter fraud. ...........
......We could dispense with IDs and merely use an indelible dye on a finger; if your finger is inked, no more voting for you. How hard is that, given that's how democracies like India do it (and they handle 3-6x as many voters as the US).
