Who will you vote for?

[LadyVolette]

As long as gerrymandering exists the way it does now, it wont be a much better option.

See the grotesque way Memphis and Nashville is divided up to ensure 8-1 vs 6-3...

Memphis is crazy I have no family left there now.. everyone moved eventually.. the flight started occurring in the 70s though, to be fair.. there are even a ton of great paying jobs there now.. and people are like ‘nope’

no giant meteor either

The poll should be revised. Adding a purge, pie or a meteor. In no particular order.

 

[hUTch2002]

Trump all the way baby! That cognitive decline, sprinkled with overt racism and misogyny, makes me change my panties several times a day just thinking about him ruling over a cabinet of sycophantic goobers.

I hope you’re just drinking too much water. Otherwise, ewwww.

 

[hUTch2002]

Probably write in myself for laughs or vote RFK Jr. I gave Trump my vote once already. I don't feel up to doing it again.

First name Penn
Last name Heel
If I weren’t already on Team McDad (by the way, where was he as an option!?) I’d write you in.

There's good stuff... in text. In actually it's simply not there. He was also really strange on vax and masks. Wanting to sterilize children should be an immediate no go across the board

So I looked up more on his stance on Transgender. It’s a mixed bag.

- He’s against allowing surgery for minors.
- He would allow blockers and hormones.
- He’s against mandates allowing transgender participation in girl’s sports.

Not perfect. But he does appear to support drawing lines as opposed to a free for all.
I’d be interested in his take on locker rooms, but I didn’t see anything.

There is so much I support though as well.
- Gun rights
- Death penalty and drug laws
- Patriot Act, FISA, and TSA
- Dept of Education

I can’t ride with the Libertarian stance on open borders.

But I like a lot of what this guy is selling…

Dig this plenty -

• I will not support any new gun restrictions and will look to repeal the restrictions that exist today.
• I will nominate to the judiciary judges committed to protecting the right of all persons to defend themselves from aggression.
• District of Columbia v. Heller was a seminal moment in our history, affirming not only the right of citizens to own arms, but determining that restrictions such as trigger locks are unconstitutional. I will work to extend this legal concept to all bans, such as bans on bump stocks.

Yep, this -

Immediately abolish the death penalty for all Federal crimes. Not only are mistakes sometimes made that are not discovered until the execution has been carried out, but prosecutors often use the threat of the penalty as a method for extracting confessions in exchange for more lenient sentencing. This presents ethical concerns in itself, such as innocent suspects confessing to crimes they did not commit to escape the needle, the chamber, or the chair.

Right again -

Immediately act to remove all federal laws criminalizing cannabis and end burdensome regulatory hurdles like federal banking regulations, placed on the cannabis industry.

F@&k yea, brother -

• Work with Congress to abolish the Patriot Act, which has unconstitutionally increased the powers and scope of the police and surveillance state.
• Work to repeal the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 which serves as the legal justification for the surveillance abuses disclosed by Edward Snowden in 2013.
• End the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which routinely violates our civil liberties, requires airlines to become agents of Federal surveillance, and whose screening devices, both for luggage and facial recognition, repeatedly exhibit problems that are inexcusable in relation to the taxpayer dollars spent.

Yep, wish he had addressed ALL bodily autonomy-

There are many complex issues in our society which offer no easy solutions. More than a few of these issues involve individuals engaging in activities that may run counter to our personal beliefs. Outside of obvious criminal offenses such as assault, theft, or murder, it is not the role of government in a free society to prohibit such behavior, even when the majority wishes it so. For this reason, activities such as abortion are the province of individual choice and bodily autonomy.

Whew daddy, imma need a shower. Preach -

At the federal level, the best policy on education is to remove the federal government’s involvement in education. I support abolishing the Department of Education and block granting those funds back to states to be returned to taxpayers. I also support getting the government out of the student loan business so market forces can lower the cost of higher education over time.​

looks like we have some non VNPFers voting..no way there are 36 Trump voters from the Pathetic Crowd.

Ah, "VN Polls are fake news."

Lol.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I voted for Trump today. It didn't take long going through the line.
In & out in less than 5 minutes tops.

Jawtator doesn't vote and if you forced him to vote, he would vote Independent.

 

[volinbham]

I'll vote Oliver - he's the least appealing L I will have voted for but decided to keep giving L votes to keep hope alive.

When questioned, those who have/are voting for Trump in 2024 cite inflation, the economy, and immigration.

Trump inherited a surging economy coming back from the Great Recession. He did little other than sign into law the tax legislation passed by the Republican majority Congress. This cut top tax rates and raised taxes on those making $50K or less by $500/yr. That produced trillion-dollar Federal deficits while unemployment was ~3.5%. Inflation was lower, but he inherited that.

Inflation happened during the global recovery from the pandemic. Manufacturing, logistics, and supply took longer to recover than demand. This would have happened on Trump’s watch, but he failed in his bid for reelection. Neither he nor his opponent are going to impact the inflation that is already receding. Presidents don’t have as much power to effect change, and they need Congress to do much of anything.

The economy is actually pretty good. Employment, wages, and earnings are increasing, just not fast enough to overcome the surge in inflation caused by the interruption of global economic activity caused by the pandemic. Some of what Trump wants to do will disrupt the economy and hurt many of those voting for him, but, Congress. Even if he gets a Republican majority in both chambers, they don’t want to do what he wants to do.

Dealing with the Southern border is imperative, and, hopefully, Congress will act during the next term, giving the government resources it needs (much more than a wall). As for foreigners lacking documentation to be within our country, using a very old law to make massive deportations without process will definitely impact the economy, and initially, in a bad way.

Folks voting for Trump are really doing so because he makes them feel better about themselves. His opponent can’t penetrate that.

I plan on voting for Trump.

Not that he’s perfect because he’s far from it but Harris is just another version of Joe Biden.

Would you like to discuss what you shared in the 2nd paragraph?

Revenue never suffered after tax cuts..in fact it went up and it can be argued that it takes time to generate much as the lag of inflationary pressures takes time.

Since Trump is threatening that the military should be used against people who vote for the democrats, I think the answer as to who I'll vote for is none of your damn business.

You can be super-duper safe and just not vote.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I voted today for Trump because:
I'm for free speech.
I'm for energy independence, drill baby drill.
I'm against killing viable babies.
I'm against stacking the supreme court.
I'm against doing away with the fillabuster.
I'm against cutting reproductive organs off children and shooting them up with hormones.
I'm against more gun control.
I'm against weaponization of the judicial branch.
I'm against our tax dollars going overseas.
I'm against open borders and our tax dollars going to support the illegal immigrants.
I'm for lower taxes for everyone.
I'm against preferential policies based of race, religion, or sexual preference.
I'm against legalized riots, looting, and burning ish down.

The Whitehouse just authorized the US military to shoot American citizens just last week.

the irony is Biden admin just signed the use of the military with lethality against civilians..and not a word about it from you.

Section 3

(c) Assistance in responding with assets with potential for lethality, or any situation in which it is reasonably foreseeable that providing the requested assistance may involve the use of force that is likely to result in lethal force, including death or serious bodily injury. It also includes all support to civilian law enforcement officials in situations where a confrontation between civilian law enforcement and civilian individuals or groups is reasonably anticipated. Such use of force must be in accordance with DoDD 5210.56, potentially as further restricted based on the specifics of the requested support.

The accuracy of the paragraph is dubious. If it wasn't apt, I'm not sure what it accomplished.

I haven't seen any national stats. Based on the convos in the VN PF, both candidates have some voting FOR them and voting AGAINST the other.

Most of the Harris voters here are anti Trump. I'd estimate about half the Trump voters are anti Harris.

We need better candidates.

Yes, but cutting the growth rate in revenues without at least matching cuts in the growth rate of expenditures did bump up the deficit. Voo doo economics, as George H. W. Bush characterized it has been the core plank of Republicans since Ronald Reagan’s successful 1980 campaign. No real effort to reduce expenditures has been made during those times when Republicans have controlled the White House and both chambers of Congress.
