I'm a 'lesser of two evils' voter for Republicans.

If the Republicans cut and run on this fraudulent election fight, I've seen enough.

Let the Democrats have it all, and watch the fun begin with a REAL Resistance.

[MissH]

I am a Trumplican. No longer a republican.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Do you vote Republican as a 'Republican voter always', or do you vote Republican as 'the lesser of two evils'?

Lesser of two evils. Especially in California, the Republican candidates are, in fact, the lesser of two evils - only slightly less liberal than their Democrat opponents. Twenty years ago, these Republicans would have been considered to the left of most of the Democratic Party.

If they thought Trump was a problem before, wait till he’s a free agent.
We’ll keep the Senate. We have the Court. And it will be a bloodbath in 2022.

[Ozymandias Ghost]

Definitely lesser of evils!

The New Deal, Dean Acheson wrote approvingly in a book called A Democrat Looks At His Party, “conceived of the federal government as the whole people organized to do what had to be done.” A year later, Mr. (Arthur) Larson wrote A Republican Looks At His Party, and made much the same claim in his book for modern Republicans. The “underlying philosophy” of the New Republicanism, said Mr. Larson, is that “if a job has to be done to meet the needs of the people, and no one else can do it, then it is the proper function of the federal government.”

Here we have, by prominent spokesmen of both political parties, an unqualified repudiation of the principle of limited government. There is no reference by either of them to the Constitution, or any attempt to define the legitimate functions of government. The government can do whatever needs to be done; note, too, the implicit but necessary assumption that it is the government itself that determines what needs to be done. We must not, I think, underrate the importance of these statements. They reflect the view of a majority of the leaders of one of our parties, and of a strong minority among the leaders of the other, and they propound the first principle of totalitarianism: that the State is competent to do all things and is limited in what it actually does only by the will of those who control the State. …

You ever read this book? It was warning about which way the GOP was going even back in the 1950s.

Lesser of two evils.

[ronniesgal]

if they steal this election, and the R’s do nothing, i’m never voting for them again.

[JonPreston]

I’m an “I” and before Trump, my last presidential vote was for Buchanan on the Reform party ticket. Before him, Perot twice. It’s unlikely I’ll vote again unless a new party forms.

[wildcard_redneck]

Lesser of two evils.

[Howie66]

I am with you. 99% of the “Republican” Party are spineless, gutless pansies who are afraid of their own shadows. They have even less guts than your garden variety RAT bastard.

[wardaddy]

Lesser

I’ve never liked em

It’s a southern thing I guess

[airborne]

I voted Republican as the lesser of two candidates.

Until Donald Trump.

I vote straight Republican. My father was a Democrat, and told us we had to vote Democrat too. He didn't know any better. He was born in 1904, came here as a little boy from Holland, and was naturalized when his father became a citizen. He only went to 4th grade, and worked the rest of his life on the New York Central Railroad. He was an FDR Democrat, and stayed with the party until he died in 1978.

My first ballot was cast in 1968 when I turned 21. He took me to the polling place, and told me I had to vote for Hubert Humphrey. I did, like a good, little girl. My first Republican vote was for Reagan, and I've never turned back. I will never vote for any member of the party of Satan. If my father was alive today, he wouldn't recognize the Democrat party, and I know he would never vote for anyone who supported abortion.

[sasportas]

Sounds like the kind of questionaire a libertarian would propose.

[Cold Heart]

Republicans vote lessor of two evils. Democrats vote greater of two evils.

[datura]

I have been voting for 40 years.

Not one time have I ever voted for a Democrat or independent.

[Rurudyne]

Lesser of two evils (though considering the current state of the two main political parties it’s now a choice between useless men and Quislings and the party of Satan).

Historically one of the consequences, or maybe even an intended feature, of the 17th Amendment was to neuter independent and regional parties.

Before the 17th Amendment a State or regional political party could hope to be significant nationally simply because of legal political success in the legislature, influencing the closing of Senators even if not being dominant enough to actually choose them. The 17th undercut the ability of these lesser political parties to not represent wasted votes relative to supporting either of the big two.

This is similar to another among the many consequences of the 17th, including such monumental turds as changing the relationship between the States and the Court, likewise delivering influence previously held by State legislatures over to the two big political parties — itself a precursor to party platforms essentially replacing the Constitution as amended with the generous help of the Court as transpired under FDR and later rubber stamped by Eisenhower.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Lesser of two evils or evil of two lessers. Take your choice.

I'm a proud never busher, never mittens and never McLamer.

[AlaskaErik]

I have always been an independent. I don’t always vote Republican, but not once have I ever voted Democrat. In the presidential elections of 1972, 1992 and 2012 I voted third party.

[Husker24]

Depends on the “Republican.”
