Members KYTOP Posted August 31, 2019 Members Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) I do not visit here very often as in past years and comment even less. But reading this topic thread for the first time has left me with several thoughts and personal observations. A few thoughts from reading this: Lucky started this thread to state he felt Biden is a flawed Presidential candidate. Back on topic I agree. There are several interesting alternatives that many here and across the country should be researching and see what you find or like in these persons. Warren? Harris? Mayor Pete? Yang? etc... Is some Socialist proposals the direction America wants to go? But this thread turned in to a Hate Trump thread and no debate on not hating him is allowed or you are a racist. (you should use that word carefully). My Mother slapped me across the face the first time I used the word Hate in front of her. "You can dislike something but NEVER HATE" was her advice. I remember this advice more often these last few months and while reading this thread. I neither Hate nor Love Trump and wish sometimes he would just keep his damn mouth shut. But the Trump Hate dominates this thread and from reading it the Hate is so thick I personally just discount many comments do to the Hate that comes from the comments. The loose use of the word 'racist' against those who have opinions you do not agree with has become the New McCarthyism of our day. By calling anyone who doesn't Hate Trump a racist you are not changing their opinions you are just chasing them into the closet. A large number of Trump supporters I know will not put up a yard sign, bumper sticker, admit it in public, nor God forbid wear red hat in public for fear of being called a racist or attacked or their car or property being damaged. These closeted Trump supporters also will probably not properly show up in a poll because they will not admit their support. How this is affecting the polls no one knows. This is America so please Vote for whomever you wish... Biden? Warren? Trump? Sanders? Yang? but please keep your Hate out of your opinion it only makes you look biased and your not winning anyone to your side. As for me I am the voter everyone fears. My votes can not be taken for granted by any Political Party or person. I am the ultimate ticket split er, I vote for Democrats and Republicans (boos and hisses from the gallery) and I have no idea yet who I will vote for. Is it possible I could vote for Trump, yes it depends on the economy and a strong military but I find Yang and Mayor Pete interesting. Sanders and Warren are the same from my view point but I think I'd take Warren over Sanders. Biden he better damn sure have a strong VP running mate, not to be mean but I truly feel he is bordering on dementia. A concern I also have with Trump and Sanders. If Your Hate is visible in your opinions it is still HATE. Is your hate really any different than any other hate? Sadly for many here your Hate is showing and it does not suit you well. Enjoy your debates. Edited August 31, 2019 by KYTOP Lucky and RA1 2 Quote
