I used to vote Republican in national elections, Democrat in local elections, generally speaking and depending on issues and quality of the persons running.
Now I am sick of just about all of them. Used to be that the more local they are, the more likely there will be some scary wing-nuts running, now those wing-nuts are going national. Last time I voted with confidence, GHWB was running. Morals aside, Bill Clinton almost got my vote. Quality of candidates since then is a landslide into the sewer...with Trump having the most foul smell. Education and ability to speak without embarrassing the country's education system would be nice.
As for a better forum, I would like to see Lean and Location and Nationality be required Signature info.
I was a Republican from 1974 until 2012...although I had been viewing the Republican party with increasing alarm since Newt Gingrich in 1996. IMO, there is no GOP anymore, the "new" Republicans be they Neo-Cons, Alt-Right or anything else, killed it the moment they began drumming out and/or silencing anyone they considered to be a "RINO". Now I'm a little "L" libertarian. I like the Libertarian party platform but don't agree with it entirely. Their local reps are good, but their national reps suck. I think the party will grow from the roots up, not the top down.
