Staying home because you’re pissed at the GOP is understandable, but staying home ensures a Democrat takeover of one or both chambers of Congress. Excuse me if I put my principled conservatism aside and vote for a straight red slate of GOP candidates and incumbents, some of whom are RINO globalists. Sadly, in many cases this will be a “lesser of two evils” choice for many of us, but the thought of Plastic Face Pelosi as the Speaker of the House and Schmucky Schumer as the Majority Leader of the Senate is too gruesome to contemplate! The Democrats in charge would be MASA (Making America S**t Again)!
It IS a “lesser of two evils” situation. The problem is the evils are not too far apart. I think many Republican voters feel the party is not only weak with respect to doing things we want, it also willingly permits the Democrats to run Capitol Hill. The Gutless Old Party won’t use the power given to them by voters. They are too anxious to concede and appease to Democrats.
This is enormously frustrating to Republican voters. It puts them in a position of voting for people who don’t deserve their votes.
That said, the only reason to vote for the GOP is the one you gave. We know the GOP will disappoint again (like they always do) but the Dems would pursue their radical agenda taking America down the drain. In other words, a vote comes down to accepting betrayal and disappointment versus making the country much worse.
