And you know what? Felt refreshed and proud the next day. Nota hint of regret. I was thinking of writing in Bernie but after he acted like a cuck I thought better.
Voted Johnson. Worst libertarian candidate of all of them but hoped to show some backlash against the major parties. DFL deniers not believing independent voters exist will swing votes back toward Trump if they don't get their together.
Huge Austin Peterson fan BTW. Didn't get the party nominee but excited to see him run in Missouri Senate.

I have a picture on my old phone of the ballot. Might be stored in the cloud. I live in South Dakota. Jesus himself could run as a Dem. And it wouldn't matter. Do you honestly think those of us are scared to throw our vote away? There that at ude shows through again........I thought stupid people were supposed to flock towards the rep party........
Personally I have done very very well with Trump as president.
But investing and making money thru real work in which I feel a sense of accomplishment are not even close to the same. In times like these it almost feels like cheating. It just does for me. I don't expect others to feel the same over hard earned money. I guess it's because I got lucky in really enjoying work.
I get you. We had two absolutely awful candidates. So it's hard to begrudge any vote in November. Although the Republicans must be given credit for actually going thru a tough process in choosing their candidate.
South Dakota!!!
Absolutely awesome!
I would be wandering around collecting rocks and fossils all day. And then fishing. Man that might be hard to work with stuff waiting for me to do.
The stock market isn’t the economy.
I'm sure the coal miners and the now laid-off Carrier workers who voted for Trump are happy their stock portfolios are doing well.
If you had every factory that ever closed and moved abroad back in the US, you'd raise the lower bar on income average but you wouldn't get closer to the 1% if you were already gainfully employed. There's a glass ceiling for people who don't pursue high income type careers. Skilled labor jobs like craftsmen and engineers typically will have their incomes capped so that the shareholders, owners, etc... will make enough to hang around in the 1% range. So if you want to be in the 1%, start a business. Tax laws that stifle small businesses also present road blocks getting to that 1% range.Capitalism is awesome but the money has a tendency to conglomerate at the top so it's needs to redistributed some by the government is my points basically
Tell these Republicans your lectures as even they agree with this
However, move the opposite way: Close factories and move them abroad where lower emission standards, cheaper labor and almost zero oversight exists (and lower taxes), you get higher profits and richer 1%ers, and a wider gap between the classes. The middle class family loses ground while the wealthy business CEOs and large shareholders capitalize.
Seems to me that's why Trump won.
BTW, that poll was taken before Trump took office, when Obama had 8 years to close the gap.
Yeah but if you actually jerked off rather than doing it metaphorically with that vote you would have felt even better.
What don't you understand about the words "and conservative bend"? You might want to call me a one issue voter (like isn't it anyone's prerogative to BE a one issue voter - like being a multi-issue voter is somehow "better" than being a one-issue voter) but outside of religion, once they are past the age of viability outside of the mother (22 weeks?), imo, it is barbaric to snuff out their lives. You might so defend a mother's right to abort right up until delivery, but I am absolutely against that. Given society today, I think a reasonable limit is up until the child is viable outside the mother's womb - that's over 5 months - plenty of time for someone to decide they want an abortion.
My voting against Trump in Texas had no practical effect.
I have always kind of wished I got in on an exit poll as a white male so it might have some sort of meaning.
Almost everyone I don't know that starts a conversation concerning politics assumes I like Trump.
Just yesterday " Can you believe England just uninvited Trump?"
I must look so Trumpish. Can't figure it. People of color and women do not appear to flee from me however.
Poor white guy in Mid west ain't falling for it again.
And if they do, so be it.
Please keep thinking that there isn't ANY way he gets re elected. No one knows - there are too many variables - but each side should be concerned - on the Repub side, that there will be backlash and many will vote against Trump and his personality, words, racism, whatever. On the Dem side, that the economy continues to improve and people vote their pocket book and because as of now, they don't have a candidate. Maybe Cuban wants to run but as a Republican so he'd have to wait for Trump to leave. Zuckerberg - not old enough? Oprah would definitely win if she were crazy enough to get into politics when she doesn't have to.
It's the opposite for me. At work, people come up to me and start trashing Trump. They just ASSUME that everyone thinks the same way they do - I just keep smiling.
So if you had two Republican candidates, and one was pro choice the other pro life, you could possibly take the pro choice candidate? Because the pro lifer had LESS of a "conservative bend"
This is what you are saying?
If it is, I apologize for the misinterpretation.
I have a lot of very Christian friends that take abortion before anything else.
Then once they got two pro lifers its up for debate.
The above example is a one issue voter. Must be pro life... automatically disqualified if not.
This means either
A: You're a business owner
B: You tuck your shirt
Lol blaming that all on Obama thats the new economy moving away from manufacturing and 40 years of mostly trickle down economics
85% of the manufacturing jobs were lost due to automation according to a study I read (https://www.ft.com/content/dec677c0-...-95d1533d9a62O (so you could bring it all back and it wouldn't matter and it would raise prices astronomically. Globalism is good for electronics people's iphone cost $600 instead of $2000 due to globalism: https://www.marketplace.org/2014/05/...an-iphone-cost and imagine trying to sell that on the global market? competing against Samsung who's building it in china for 1/3 the price. No point in bringing pback the phone and TV manufacturing jobs to employ what 40,000 people and screw over who buys them
You could raise tariffs to a million percent and build a thousand walls those 1950s manufacturing ain't coming back.
Its the Fckn tie, sometimes with a suit. And always tucked. Always.
Been asked to join the guys I work with but don't want to get tied down and not getting to work with others in the same field. Too much to hide and not share, that's no fun.

Roe v Wade is not going to be overturned - I am not delusional. Why would I choose someone on the basis of something that's never gonna happen over someone who could make my and my kids' life/future better? You know I voted for Trump - does he seem like some conservative, religious (two Corinthians), high moral guy? I voted for him because he was the only one who could take the heat/attacks, the only one who was rich enough that he wouldn't be influenced by party or donors, the only with enough business/common sense to possibly change the direction we were going in, the only one who didn't have to do it, the only one who has lost money, energy, time, future family security and probably his brand by doing it.
There's another example... what's the 'anti-DC-swamp bull '? That DC only listens to 'special interests' (aka businesses) instead of the 99%. Typical populist message to appeal to the 99%.
Baseline worried about picking the winner like he's betting on the Superbowl instead of going with what he believes. That's the main problem with the political system.
When I say I don't think, that's an opinion.
And I'll take a bet on it.
It does not mean I won't vote.
Nobody does something so life changing for his socioeconomic group - only for himself or his family. In case you haven't noticed, hardly any of those rich people are Trump supporters - maybe only Peter Thiel. All those Zuckerberg, Gates, Buffet, Hollywood, academia, DC, elite types are against him.
JPMorgan's CEO seems to support him.
Dude didn't think he was going to win and he didn't think he would be as hated as he is. You're trying to paint this as some huge sacrifice on his part -- it's just another up.
So you knew Trump was not a true pro lifer and I agree. So you used your conservative bend on other issues to go with go with Trump. Bottom line, if you are like the vast majority of my Christian friends, you look at pro choice as an automatic disqualification. And I'm gonna say you do.
As far as Roe v. Wade being overturned... Who knows. Get 4 more like Trump's last nominee accepted and I can see it clearly. And it does not have to be overturned to effectively end legal abortion in the US.
