First Republican Debate tonight. What's everybody thinking/feeling?
I used to really like politics when I was younger, but now I'm turned off by the political circus. Trying to still care about the fate of the country.
Discussion
Fake news is a waste of everyone's time.
Just look at candidate websites and see their positions.
People who can't bother shouldn't be allowed to vote anyway
Since we're both practicing Catholics, interested to know how much that weighs into the candidate you choose to vote for
In our evil modern world, it's a matter of choosing the lesser evil, and even needing to juggle between the four sins which cry out to Heaven for vengance.
In the past, most of my votes revolved around abortion. Nothing else matters as long as the next generation is slaughtered at a rate of another 9/11 every day. But now that Roe is overturned, that's moved to the State level, "downgrading" its importance for federal elections (at least for candidates who won't be aiming to "codify Roe").
None of the candidates today are going to oppose or do anything to ban sodomy/birth control, so that's basically irrelevant for now.
That leaves just wages and oppression of the poor as the big issues. Democrats *seem* to have an edge here.
But on the other hand, there's the gross overstepping we saw during the pandemic, as well as efforts to try to demolish even our most fundamental human right of self-defense/guns.
End result is that there's not going to be an easy answer in the coming elections. It's going to take a nuanced judgement of candidates on an individual basis, regardless of their party affiliations.
I lost all hope in third parties (at least in the major elections) after they failed to even get a noteworthy vote during Clinton vs Trump.
Grr wrote out a reply and Amathyst lost it
Been there, done that..😐😊
Not thrilled that it’s happening in my city. I won’t be going downtown for dinner tonight.
I am not American but it seems like every candidate is cringe.
There doesnt seem to be any candidates who is really serious about ending all the madness going on lol.
Nobody with serious leadership and political skills wants to be a polictician. I can’t blame them.
Imo Trump is the only hope for America. Look at the villains and institutions trying to destroy him to understand the threat he represents to the vile swamp. I would say don't watch the debate, don't give your attention to Fox or the establishment Rinos... check out Trump with Tucker instead! 👊
