In the polarized political climate of today’s America, anyone who is a “swing” voter is plain old stupid.
...anyone who is a “swing” voter is plain old stupid.”
...couldn’t agree more. “Independent” means liberal. The Dem party is now solid socialist. Years ago we had blue dog, yellow dog etc. You cannot vote for the “right person” anymore.
So, I am stupid?
Here is a definition of a “swing voter” (just looked it up)
“swing voter - a voter who has no allegiance to any political party and whose unpredictable decisions can swing the outcome of an election one way or the other.”
The only thing that is even remotely unpredictable in my decision making process is if I will vote at all. Sat out a couple General elections, but leaped off the bench for Donald Trump. I can tell you if the Republicans go back to nomination people like McCain and McRomney again I will have no problem becoming a bench warmer again.
I have no allegiance to any political Party. My political leanings are and always have been defined as being a Constitutional Conservative.
I was a slave to the feckless Republicans for over 40 years.
Now I vote as I see fit. Political parties, while entrenched, will ultimately be the downfall of the Republic.
George Washington warned us of that repeatedly in his Farewell Address.
To classify one of many who support Mr. Trump who are registered without Party affiliation as “stupid” isn’t all that bright.
I can’t speak for others who share that voter classification, but being marginalized by Republicans only solidifies my reasons for leaving the Party over a 2 decades ago.
I realize that I have led with my chin here, so swing away.
