its a huge problem. But as a commoner, what more can one do than vote and support the removal of racists?
No its not a “loaded” question, its an honest one.
Are we to switch parties and affiliate with what we believe to be a style of government economics that hurts our future?(not looking to debate the styles or if they work or not)
its an honest question
I think that's why you (not YOU, just all of us) see a lot of posts or things online that basically say, you may not be racist if you voted Trump, but you decided that racism wasn't a deal breaker. It fits here, I believe. It's deciding on what is most important to you with your vote.
Generalizing here, so not saying all republicans, or all voters, etc. But, is it more important that, say, your 401K continues to grow, and gives you a healthy and safe future, at the expense of the poor and the minorities?
Is abortion an all or nothing vote killer, where you can excuse every other deplorable thing thrown out, if abortion is opposed?
Do you feel that it's worth it to sacrifice a bigger chunk of your paycheck to support programs that help out the poor, hungry, old, etc.
There's not a clear answer to it, and people will get called out for their votes. It's ranking your priorities. If you think that ultimately the republican party helps YOU, then vote that way. But if people get upset because your vote shits on others, I think you answer with well, I voted X because it helps me. Or I care more about Y than anything else, so I choose that.
you can come out and play now...
