I’ve supported ending welfare all of my life, and voted and worked on campaigns accordingly.
When welfare is ended, THEN we grant you your left wing wishes and immigration, not before.
Again, you don't know me so kindly keep the insults to yourself.
Since the theme of the thread is "lessons learned" let this be the first lesson. The key to building a winning coalition is to stop throwing insults at people you can build common cause with.
That's the first lesson. We teach it to kids in high school when running for the student council. Works like a charm every time.
There are more if you are willing to listen.
But put it this way - we have the same goals and want to do things in the same order. When you are able to figure out that means WE ARE ON THE SAME TEAM, then perhaps we can move forward.
If not, and if insults are all there is, then you don't get my vote. Nor do you get the votes of anyone else.
BTW, family has run party politics in my state since before WWI. Don't even think you have cred here. You don't. Got it?
