Vote for a Democrat? Sure. Except Harry Truman died a long ways back.

Always respected POTUS Truman, then I read what he said about his GOP opponent Dewey and Republicans in general.

He could have worked for CNN or MSNBC if they existed back then.

“There once was a time in American history – in fact perhaps for the bulk of it..”

When America was still America. You could still have democrat friends and lovers.

Twice I voted for democrats. In 1984 for senator from Illinois I voted for Paul Simon (D) over Charles Percy (R), Percy had become a terrible RINO. Had voted for the cursed Gun Control Act of 1968 and had been pimping gun control ever since. Also, authored 55 mph speed limit. A thorough prick. Simon was somewhat unknown to me but I took a chance. Turned out to also be a prick. Simon won. Both of these worthies are long since croaked.

In 1998 I voted for Glenn Poshard (D) for Illinois governor over George Ryan (R). Ryan had promise but fell in with ultra corrupt “combine” the filthy Chicago controlled unholy alliance between democrats and republicans. As incumbent Lt. Gov., Ryan had spearheaded a push to ban “assault” weapons. Even went so far as to borrow full autos from Indiana State Police to make a TV ad on the dangers of semis! Poshard on the other hand was from southern Illinois, much more conservative and staunchly against gun control. Naturally, his own party and the “combine” went against him. He lost. Ryan went on as governor to ban capital punishment among other things. Also, went on to prison for 6 years due to filthy corruption.

My dad (in his 80’s now) considers himself a Truman Democrat. He just hasn't voted a dim for president since 1964, and he still rues that vote.
