ri Alban Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Have they won both. Looks like there's few thousand lunatics at the Trump rally. And everyone of them is a white supremacy terrorist and should be baton charged, but unfortunately the police will in their team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorothy Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 45 minutes ago, Dawnrazor said: Or they be fed up of being let down by the party they've voted for before? The thought of Blacks and Hispanics and Jews and Muslims voting for a white supremacist supporting President because some don't like each other isn't something I'm buying, sorrry, I'm well aware of racism amongst other than white people but I'd say you've streached that one a wee bit. My point in all this is that people vote for different parties for different reasons, obviously, not everyone knows every policy or every pledge in a manifesto, people will vote Republican because they traditionally always have, as people will vote Democrat because they always have. I think Justin Z (I'm pretty sure it was him) was asked how he was going to vote, and if I remember correctly, he said he was going to hold his nose and vote Democrat despite his misgivings, perfectly fair enough. Is it not possible that many Republicans held thier noses and voted Trump with tbe same thought process? Are they all gun toting KKK menbers? If they felt they'd rather hold thier noses and vote Trump rather then Biden that's a problem for the Democrats in future Id have thought. If you vote for someone advocating for the things Trump has done or said, you are giving those things your approval. Regardless of how you want to justify it, you are saying it is a-okay to have the power. Democrats let you down? Okay, but that doesn't mean you should feel inclined to jump over and vote for a white supremacist because they're in the opposite party.

I'm not trying to justify anyone's vete just pointing out the nuances of voting. Like I've said before, I don't think tens of millions of people voted for Trump because he's a white supremacist, that's my point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo-Jimbo Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Not the first time I've heard someone say that they are going to form a third party because the Republicans don't represent them anymore. If that became a coordinated move by Trump supporters, I suppose they could form a Trump party. This would hit the Republicans by taking support away from them to Trump, the Dems I'd suppose would welcome a potential split of the GOP.

I saw a few tv reports saying that's why he was reluctantly allowed (not sure if that describes it best) to lead the party, I think he threatened to run as an independent and that would've lead to a Republican loss, I bet they wish they had another four years in opposition now😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was clear that there wasn't the appetite for a Bernie Sanders type within the Democratic Party, I don't think he'd have beaten Trump in an election. *edit* I've seen I've done a double quote, I've no idea how that happened!!!
