There is a thread right now where people can brag about illegal activities, so I decided we need a thread for admitting an even more shameful matter: voting Republican. I am sure someone here has done it. There are various reasons you might have voted Republican, for example: 1. You were raised in the deep south and until your junior year at Vanderbilt, when you took Sociology 101 and smoked weed/listened to Bob Marley in the same month, you never questioned the way you were raised. 2. You live in a place where positions like District Water Auditor are partisan even though they are just functionaries, so you figured that giving old Gary Brown another four years making sure people's septic systems weren't leaking is not actually an endorsement of fascism. 3. You were voting for your uncle. 4. You were voting for a state senator in a suburb of a west coast city where "Republican" just means you don't believe in making cars illegal. So who is going to confess, and give an explanation?

I did once. The choice was a mildly evil republican county commissioner vs a totally whack-job baby eating lizardman libertarian county commissioner so I held my nose and voted for the lesser evil. I didn't feel good about it, though.

Do you recall a guy named Gouse running for sheriff on a write in campaign back then? I went to high school with the guy and he was running on the guns and drugs platform.

The only real reason for voting Republican is because you're a selfish piece of poo poo.

Years ago, the Republicans had an open primary before the presidential election, and I cast a vote for Pat Robertson. I knew he had no chance against the leading candidate (it might have been Bush Senior, now that I think of it), but I figured any votes he got would be embarrassing. I could've cast that vote for David Duke (he was running that year), but I just couldn't bring myself to go quite that far.

All public positions should be picked by lottery. Then every six months every citizen should be able to press a button which activates a bomb attached to a randomly chosen elected official's head. If enough people press the button that bomb explodes and another lottery is made for that position.

I wish there was a viable Republican candidate to vote for but unfortunately I have a conscience.

There's no need to demonize people because they don't share your political views. Back off. Moridin920 posted:they say they are the economic responsibility party and then just give all the money to their friends (aka cronyism) and not that the Dems don't but the Dems at least aren't backwards on almost every social issue Dems do the same thing. I look at which issues are important to me and I vote accordingly. I don't get why liberals get so upset just because I don't share their views. Annoying.
