Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous but in 2012 I voted for Obama and was glad to do so. In 2016 I voted third party and I was still burgeoning on being a socialist. With the shit the DNC pulled in 2016 [and more recently] and how insane the American Left has gone in past few years, I won't have any qualms about voting for Trump in 2020. It's funny how quickly my thinking changed.

Until the left stops deeming everyone to the right of Chairman Mao a Nazi, well, I don't have a whole lot of use for them unfortunately. I may consider Sanders if he gets the nomination simply because he's somewhat of an outsider with some good ideas in my opinion. But since DNC is doing everything in their power to prevent that, I doubt the opportunity will present itself.

Well, I brought my car into the repair shop on Wednesday, and was told that I'd get it back on Monday, so I'm excited for that. Gonna cost me a whopping $3,200 though, which means I'm going to be in debt to my mom and dad. (My Dad mostly, because he always wants me to pay him back afterwards) Problem is that it is going to take me years to be able to pay my dad back. The day I pay him back will be the day murder is legalized worldwide. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy! =)

As for whom you're voting for, Gunslinger, You do you. I just hope you realize that Trump's interests are in himself and his billionaire buddies. I don't think he care one bit about the people who voted for him. But his voters still stay by his side because quite a few of them are morons who think he'll help them, when in fact he thinks they are basically peasants who don't deserve help in the first place. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy! =)

Deeming vast swaths of people morons is no way to win people over to perhaps voting for a Democratic candidate, but that's the great thing about most countries, we can have our own opinions. As for Trump's interests, well, I agree that he's often brash and rude. But the work he's done in office is satisfactory to me. I don't agree with him on every subject and I think he would benefit from not ranting on Twitter, but for me his record says more about him than his Twitter tirades.

As I said earlier, I'm not a hardline conservative. I have stances which run the entire spectrum. But it isn't necessarily about party lines, in most cases I think parties should be abolished and candidates should campaign on their own merits. The DNC has been bungling shit since 2016 at the very least and I think the only reason the Democratic Party succeeded with Obama was because he was a strong candidate on his own merits. If he'd run third party, he still would have stood a strong chance of winning 2008 and 2012. But since then, the DNC and their supporters haven't done much to endear me to the party and have infact worked to disenfranchise myself and others like me from their voter base.

Calling people fascist Nazi racist homophobes is no way to get them to vote for a favored party, but mainstream Democrats seem sold on doubling down on that idea.

Overall, what a lot of people don't seem to realize, is that the Democrats and Republicans are in bed together, basically owned by the Koch brothers. No matter who you vote, you're gonna have the same problems. Albeit Hillary is less destructive than Trump, and it is because of she screwing over Bernie last time that Trump won. I still support Bernie over all others; after him, it's AOC, after her, there are no other options I am aware of.

But yes, thinking and opinions change. Indeed, radical leftists are quite crazy, they contribute to polarization and don't really contribute to what they preach. On the bright side, at least they are significantly less violent than KKK/white supremacists/neo Nazis.

Trump did good for the economy at least, too bad he's reducing food stamps, welfare and healthcare, whilst the billionaire class gets massive tax cuts. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer :c
Indeed, Trump is a stereotypical narcissistic manbaby who only thinks of himself above all others, much like Hillary.

On the bright side, the Singapore Summit was overall good, it seems tensions have lessened in the Koreas still, let's hope it stays that way. Too bad coronavirus has appeared in North Korea, tho.



But Rainbow, ouch, that's a hell of a repair cost. I wish you the best in paying back your dad, definitely will take some years 0.o On the bright side, it's still cheaper than getting a new car, plus you can be assured your vehicle gets new parts.
