Republicans.

But it's been all over this board for 4 years. BDK, AG1 have said it. I've seen it on TV. I hear it from my MAGA brothers and high school friends.
The why the general accusation of you all???

I’m not a Republican, yet you pointed that little finger at “you all”...

It was a general you geared towards Republicans. Why are you taking offense if you aren't a "republican?" :suspicious:

Btw, it's nice to see you get hung up on that and not the actual substance, Col. :ohno: :ohno:

The term RINO implies that dissent is frowned upon or worse. What do Uumpa Truumpas think of Romney or Justin Amash?
Couldn’t tell you. I don’t like any of ‘em. :coffee: :coffee:
They’re politicians. What’s not to like?

Amash is a RINO but also one of the more principled conservatives in Congress. Go figure.

Amash is no longer a Republican. And the reason he isn't is because the Republican Party went bonkers. Amash WAS a Republican based on the historical principles of the Republican Party. But he left because the Republican Party got taken over by a bunch of nut jobs. It is no longer the Republican Party of Ronald Reagan. It's still called the "Republican Party" but now it's basically a cult composed primarily of ignorant White People who think we can live in the 1950s.

And the democrat party is no longer the party of Kennedy and is now composed primarily of ignorant 20 somethings who think money grows on trees, the government is benevolent, and who still live in their parents basement. What’s your point?

But unfortunately, people are more focused on "winning" so there's not enough critical mass out there to gravitate towards a 3rd party that has no real chance to win a Presidential election right now. No one wants to abandon the field and let the other side win in the interim. Because the other side is evil incarnate. Armageddon I tell you. :roll:

I'm aware. It's chaos.

Meanwhile - rank choice voting would help 3rd parties tremendously.

What, my attitude of that of the 270M+ potential voters in the country? I'll do what I can to be optimistic with my posts here. That should put a dent in it. :rofl:
