Are you opposed to the available choices because they are Republicans or do you oppose their stand on important issues?

LMAO. If they’re still a Republican, their “stands on important issues” are shit.

If you’re a person that cares in any way about the rule of law or other people, then you’re correct, it is.

It depends on the candidate, of course! But also, it's nice to have options in an election, so that we can choose who we believe to be the best person for the job, and 2/3 of the current candidates are the only options.

Based on wording of the post, I’d assume republican is the only reason and OP knows nothing about the candidates.

That being said, regardless of R or D, if there’s only one candidate and you don’t like them, just leave it blank. You’re doing nothing by writing in a vote for Gil Gunderson.

Perhaps you are right and I should not have specified the party, even though what I said was correct. The fact that I mentioned I was doing research on the candidates and amendments prior to voting should have clued you in that I have looked at their stance on the issues. But I know talking about politics online puts everyone's back up, so it's all good. Now you know!

Yes you did say you were doing research….and your only option was republicans. I don’t care who you vote for, that’s any individual’s own prerogative. It just irks me when someone immediately discounts a candidate because of their political party alone. Maybe that’s not what you meant to sound like, just seemed that way.

No, I immediately discount anyone who’s still a Republican, because nobody with any brains, morals, or conscience would still identify as such.

I mean. The republican party literally makes shit up about candidates and says things like "liberal educator" with nothing about their stance. So if you want to talk about voting because of letters next to names. It's not a democrat problem. Ya turd
