Being Republican doesn't even mean you like Trump. It means you vote R most of the time (I think). You can be Republican and vote for another candidate if yours is trash. Same goes for the Dems and everyone else

yes but in the upcoming midterm please keep in mind if you're an anti maga republican, voting for any red candidate is giving trump the votes he needs to keep fucking everything up

look at the behavior of republicans in the house and senate on trump. 90% of the time republicans vote along party lines

yeah but my point here is if you're truly anti maga you wanna take the L and elect someone democratic or independent who won't vote with trump at least until he's out of office

Actually I wanna ask about that because I've been told anything but a dem vote (including independents) makes you conservative, wtf is up with that (if you know)?

i'm not totally sure, i think it depends if theyre a right leaning independent or left leaning independent because i'm mostly basing my decisions on who i think will go against trump when he makes decisions that are genuinely stupid. people who will actually vote for what's good for their constituents rather than voting to stay within the good graces of the man

I had someone call me conservative and some not nice names because I said I don't align with either Dems or Reps (I quite literally don't, my perspective is almost always a midway point/compromise between the two)

personally i think midway between dems and republicans is a fairly conservative view depending on what you mean by that, policy wise democrats in this country are pretty tame, so it sort of depends what you mean by that. can you give an example of what kind of compromise positions you hold?

i think calling names just neuters any point you have anyways so i'm pretty much against that regardless

My example is I personally don't believe in abortion, as in I wouldn't get one, but getting rid of it entirely isn't the answer. It could have restrictions so it can't be used as a birth control, but use it in, like, r@pe or inc3st or life threatening type situations. Not restricted entirely but not available for random use
