Would you vote for any Democrat over any Republican at this point, including someone like Mamdani, Bernie, El-Sayed? Would you vote for Jackson over Collins? Do you regularly vote for Elizabeth Warren?

Context and office matters. Particularly in the Trump era, I would like to see the Democrats take the house and senate. So yes, as an example, here in MA, i will be voting for the democratic candidate regardless of who wins. While i would prefer a different senator that Warren, I have also voted for her each time.

What cult is Kepler in? Dude was just agreeing with you last week that Moulton was a strong candidate and it wouldn’t hurt to have a Democrat with military experience able to speak on such things, and now he’s in a cult?

I'm going to guess some sort of far-left cult. I've made it pretty clear that while registered as "independent/unenrolled" he keeps referring to MAGA as "my party" - so he must be either blinded by some sort of cult logic or lack comprehension skills.

I don’t know if you are. Frankly, I don’t care. It’s okay to not agree with the entirety of the DSA platform. It’s okay to like Seth Moulton over Ed Markey because of Markey’s age, even if I disagree. If you keep voting for Democrats despite some parts of the country choosing DSA members to represent them, then you’re good. I only think you’re a moron if you vote for any Republican at this point, in 2026 with what’s happened in the last 10 years to oh, 50 years. If you stop voting for Democrats because the DSA now has what, four members in Congress or something, you’re a moron or worse.

Again - context, era and office matters. At the current time I'll vote for whoever emerges from the primary, although I would much prefer Moulton. If we were talking a hypothetical governor's or other state/local race in MA (where democrats have a super majority), I would absolutely vote for a moderate republican (Think someone cut from the mold of Charlie Baker) over a Mamdani like candidate.... I'd bet a lot of independents in MA would as well.

Also - it is lazy to throw out moron comments etc. Just as many people on the right could be calling you a Moron for voting for Democratic candidates. Again it is the lazy way out and does nothing to help your cause.

I'm going to 2nd this motion. If the support by repubs for the worst president ever doesn't sway you, Think about the support the repubs are giving to him for the BS war he has gotten into. Or the complete dissing of the rule of law by the DOJ they support. Or the over the top insider trading the repubs support or etc etc, the list goes on. Certainly Dems are in on some of this also still better than the other side

Correct - as i've been pretty clear about in prior posts - while I've always been registered as an independent there was a time i was probably closer to a moderate republican - however, especially in the Trump era, that party has left my (my views have really not changed) so in more recent years i've considered myself much more of a moderate Democrat.... and what i'm seeing are the beginnings of the Democratic party moving further left and also leaving me.

In a way, if you think about it, the way both parties seem to be moving away from the center, it is not surprising that "independent" is the fastest growing voter block in the country.

What is a Perry Johnson?

It is a racist old boomer that wishes he were Dump, but never got Dump's blessing.

Absolutely bonkers interview with Max Miller today. You will lose count of how many times you think it can’t get worse. But fear not, you’ll be wrong the same number of times.
