The DNC was sinking faster than the Titanic, and their corruption had been exposed. I jumped to a more stable ship. It wasn't easy for me. I had to spend a couple of months debating on who I was going to vote for, and what I was going to stand for as I moved forward. Ultimately, I had an epiphany, and realized the other side's policies made a lot more sense. I will never understand this. Yes, the DNC made a mistake but how does this make you have a 180 on your ideals/views? I understand not liking Hillary and I understand not voting for her. But going in the opposite direction of voting/supporting Trump? That's a very radical change. I don't like the DNC. I don't like Hillary. But I still care about the environment. I still care about universal health care, universal basic income, women's right to their own body, gun control, education reform, science, fighting climate change, etc. I don't understand how because of the DNC's dishonesty, a person can go "I no longer care about these things and will go for Trump!" Because Trump and conservatives are still against everything I just listed. I hear ya. In my heart of hearts, however, I figured out something. Universal healthcare, while I believe comes from a place of caring about people, just doesn't seem to be practical. I backed Obama on it - and maybe it still can work in some other fashion, but so far, his version failed miserably. That took a lot of confidence out of that subject for me. I am still not against abortion, but that's one subject where...honestly, has little bearing on anything. It's a subject that is brought up around election season to swing your vote. I don't care anymore. I have flipped on gun control and climate change. --- "Impossible is just a word to let people feel good about themselves when they quit." - Vyse, Skies of Arcadia <cite>Caution999 posted [p:893021718] in Mainstream...
