I Have Reached My Limits

Historically, I have never declared myself a member of any political party and I have voted for Democrats and Republicans about equally (no party has all the answers). However, presently, I must state the following:

The Republicans have allowed their party to

1) be hijacked by the radical NRA

2) be hijacked by the deluded, ignorant and dogmatic Evangelical Christians.

3) elect a president who had revealed that he will not defend against an attack on our democratic voting process (not to mention his long list of character flaws).

Thus, if you intend to vote for any Republican, a *third party (wasted vote) or simply not vote (lazy and/or uninformed), I do not wish to engage with you. I take a daily shower to rid my body of superficial waste. This act of mine will help to rid myself of brain pollution.

* Some have challenged this point on the basis of a protest vote in a non-competitive state. Such people probably are vocal protest voters. How many people have you told you were going to do this? In my opinion, even in non-competitive states, it works to normalize such votes in competitive states.
Another point: third party voters don't accept the reality that once the primaries are over, it is time to focus on the extreme probability of the next POTUS coming from the two major parties (no third party has ever won). Thus, even if there is a Democratic candidate with which you have serious problems, both parties are NOT equivalent - - - "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
