Well, as you know, I am a fiscal and monetary conservative. So I deplore deficits and debt and those chickens will come home to roost on our children. I don't like it when we get entitlements and welfare for the Democrats and when we get corporate and military welfare for the Republicans. These are good reasons why I am registered Unaffiliated. So I can't and frankly won't defend that. In point of fact, I've railed on both parties on these threads for their fiscal and monetary recklessness. However, I don't believe in protesting by not voting. I am not a single issue voter. I vote for whomever I think will be the best candidate that most overlaps with what I believe in. Socialism and Communism are evil ideologies that not only do not work and do not obey the laws of mathematics, but they are also killing machines for people and economies. Those ideologies take down entire countries. I simply will not sit back and watch your party destroy this 230 year old experiment in freedom, capitalism, and Democracy that we call the USA. We have one hell of a lot of warts nowadays, but we're still the best country in the world and I'd like to preserve as much of it as I can for future generations, including my own kids. So no, I will not vote for Democrats until they completely and utterly repudiate Socialism and Communism. And yes, I will vote for Trump again, because he has been unequivocal on this point and he's done his damnedest to fulfill his campaign promises and he's one hell of a fighter for the AMERICAN people, which is as it should be. Do you remember this question that used to be common when immigrants wanted citizenship in this country? "Are you or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?" Bernie would fail that question. Maybe it is time we revoke his citizenship and sent him to Cuba or Venezuela where he can live in his utopian dreamland. We need to stop him from destroying our country like Chavez, Maduro, and Castro destroyed theirs.
