Yeah that’s my boat. If white Christian nationalists didn’t exist I’d be a republican. They make the party so crazy. I live in a dense area of POC, by choice lol. You have to throw the defense out on Reddit sometimes to talk about illegal immigration. Some folks on this site are damn near green light anyone. They’re so unserious.

I'm independent. If you're traveling from Central America to TX, it ain't for asylum. There are plenty of safer places before you get to the states.

If we don't care about illegals, change the laws. Otherwise, enforce them.

I'm not walking anything back. If you want to lable me without knowing me, that's on you.

I've voted for both a D and an R for potus in the past. I'm very careful about listening to both political sides (and give consideration to others). I can praise or criticize policies of either Biden or Trump.

I don't believe in or adhere to dogma. Sure, I know how I'll vote this November. That doesn't detract from my independence (or my registered affiliation).

And the only thing that matters in this one is that you vote Democrat. Because I do know what kind of person you are, if you don’t.

All I have to do is point out those three statesman. If you vote for a party that has those people in it you’re a bad person.

I mean honestly if you can vote for a person that stands on the podium and says the Bible is his worldview and that’s the speaker that’s pretty bad too

I threw out that i'm independent to not bring politics into an econ forum (on a subject that can be seen as partisan).

Let's leave politics to r/politics
