First of: if you want to blabber about WHY your opinion is right and everyone else is wrong: there's this huge thread for it.
Second: I'm only interested in YOUR reasoning for YOUR voting. Wanting to argue why something is or isn't ridiculous is outside the scope of this poll. Again: there's this huge thread for it.
That out of the way: the whole presidential debate seems to both ramp up in velocity as going nowhere. Ramping up in the sense that past elections were...erm...still sort of civil. Calling someone's plan impossible to execute was about as nasty as it got. This ramped up in 2016, when Donald Trump took digging up dirt to the next level, and openly wanted his political opponent locked up. It won him the election, even.
The least we can all agree on is that in the last four years, things have been controversial. Were it scandals or hoaxes, liars or whistleblowers, political enemies or friends...there was always something going on.
But how has all this affected us? There have certainly been MORE debates (even gbatemp has a political discussion forum now!
), but to what degree has it actually influenced anyone? Is it a vocal minority that defends Trump at all cost, or are there a whole bunch of backbenchers saying "yeah...you're telling it, brah!" whenever that happens. Are the democratic defenders voicing their own agenda or do they really want the best for the USA?
Hence this thread. Not so much in "who do you vote for?" but "is your vote changed since 2016"? And if so: why?
Thanks for sharing.
