Really, I don't think he really gives a shit either way. The shit we saw in his first term was the work of the NRA, who he not being a gun guy himself, though was the voice of gun owners. Will we see a push for more restrictions under Trump? Maybe but I doubt it. I think he's going to be too busy trying to get revenge on those who fucked him over to worry about guns. Will we see a push for new laws under Biden? You bet your ass. Trump isn't perfect, but he's what we got and is better than the alternative. This was the guy the majority of the right picked. Voting 3rd party does nothing but siphon votes and in the end, help Biden. I'm not happy about him being the nominee either, but I also can see the bigger picture. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Quiganomics: Originally Posted By TxRabbitBane: I like being a gun owner. I like the Constitution. Trump likes neither of those things.

What you fail to grasp is that my gun rights are the SAME under Biden as they are under Trump. A candidate has to earn my vote by representing my interests. Neither presidential candidate does so. Fuck them both. People like you trot out the “he’s not perfect, but…” bullshit over and over. Nobody demands perfection, just a basic respect for this country and its constitution. Neither Trump nor Biden can claim that. They’re both not only imperfect, they’re total shitshow pieces of crap… both of them. Blaming Trump’s weakness on the NRA is equally stupid. Maybe you need to go back and review the things that have come out of his mouth on the subject. |

Yes, I am 110% behind DJT. Remember, "judge a man by his deeds, and not his words," keep in the the US-based mainstream media is vile, and will "lie through their collective teetth" to hurt DJt's chances for a comeback. Personally for me, IMHO the 2020 elections was stolen. Keep in mind everything he said in his MAGA has come true.

Well let’s see…..I could sit on my hands with my thumb up my ass and refuse to vote or do anything else to try and help fix the mess and then complain about how bad everything is while espousing how moral and upstanding I am for doing nothing. Doesn’t seem too smart.
I think I’ll support Trump instead. Was he my first choice this time around, NO. I thought DeSantis would be a better candidate and that someone younger than Trump would be better in the long term for the country and a good juxtaposition against an old, corrupt president Biden who cares more about money and power than the economy and people of the country. Unfortunately DeSantis proved himself not ready for the job. The reasons for that are in dispute. They really don’t matter now though. He lost. Trump won. Get over it. I used to play poker a lot. Sometimes you have to play the cards you are dealt or fold. I’m pushing my chips in and supporting Trump. |

You could also have spent a lot less of the last eight years going on about "you're a commie who doesn't want to make America great again" and "SYGL" and "you just don't understand NY real estate" and "4D chess" and "elevator shoes" every time someone questions one of your guy's shitty decisions. Or done something - anything - to rein in the people on your side who were like that towards other right-of-center or conservative voters when they went on the attack. And you'd get a lot less hostility from at least some of us. But the record of what you people did speaks for itself. |

Going by logic here by me not voting for someone means the other guy gets the vote..well rest easy because I am not voting for Biden so I guess Trump magically gets my vote somehow. If one is voting because they see Trump as the lesser of 2 evils I can understand and wish them well. As far as the hardcore T$ cultists that think. He is an actual Conservative? Lol |

Instead of paying attention to what subversives teach our kids, where corporations farm American jobs out to, What media programs us to accept as reality, we surrender to " at least he's not XXX" as our weapon of reprisal. It's weak and counter to what this republic was founded on. What we accept as conservative in 2024 would have been tarred and feathered in more righteous times.

Staying home and not voting for anybody is a yes vote for Biden. Not participating allows the choice to be made for you. That is complacency. I'm not going to make that argument. Not voting simply gives your voting power to your neighbor who votes. If neighbor is voting red and you cast your vote for red, that makes your state super red(fighting mad red). If you don't vote, that simply makes your state plain red(milquetoast weak red). I may have missed it but I haven’t seen anyone in here state that they aren’t voting. I’ve seen posters say they aren’t voting for fdjt or fjb.. but that doesn’t mean they aren’t voting for other races/state/local/congress or writing in for potus etc. Yeah, if you vote for red down ballot and don't vote red for prez then you're just asking for unnecessary conflict and handing a narrative to democrats. And again, you're simply passing your voting power to your neighbor who is voting blue or red. The rub here is that the R candidate for potus is a democrat in practice. That's not what democrats believe. That is a contradiction from you. I don't know how you square it but it doesn't square. Democrats believe a lot of silly things that aren’t true. So do trump cultists. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By XxbatraiderxX: You're not sacrificing principles to vote for someone. Turn off the news telling you otherwise. You're voting to put someone in a place that you cannot put yourself. You are simply saying "I vote for this guy/gal over the others". You're not saying "I pledge my principles for this guy/gal". Leave your principles out of it. It'd be nice if the candidate you're talking about had any principles of his own. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Quiganomics: There's several reasons. It's rigged to not allow any other serious candidates, the amount of money that is required to run, the need for media coverage to be able to reach voters, etc, etc. Do I like it? Nope. But it is what it is, vote 3rd party and think you're some kind of revolutionary, hopefully that gives you some solace. Been hearing from third party voters that their vote will matter IF they get enough of the vote. That's a fallacy, and they've never came close to being an actual contender, closest being Perot in '92, and he took 1 state. Wow. There's other candidates but ultimately it's Trump vs. Biden. I may not agree with Trump on everything he does, but I can't afford another 4 years of Biden. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/411079/1000013201_jpg-3171731.JPG Sure, you and Tom Thumb. |
