    Lot of good information, but I have a clarification. Independent actually means you’re a Republican in hiding.

      And a Democrat in hiding. They are a triple quadruple agent who votes based on their beliefs rather than a party name. It’s some crazy shit.

          If you like cheese does that make you a Packers football fan? What if you also like purple? Does that make you a Vikings fan instead?

          I’m confused, you say you can’t be both and also say you have to be one, so which is true for this example? Is this person a Vikings fan or Packers fan? (U.S. football analogy)

              Right… Because every single Republican position is Nazi ideology. Like… small government. Nazi’s were notoriously small government… Right? Talk about false equivalencies, have you looked in a mirror?

              You know what was a Nazi position? Socialized healthcare. Does that mean Democrats are the Nazi party?

                  Between Democrats and Republicans, which one has the ideology of small government? Not what they do, what is the official rhetoric? I have never in my life heard that be a Democrat position but I have certainly heard it as a Republican position.

                  Not that it matters, I’m sure I could find a different example if what I said doesn’t make sense unless it’s an ideology you accept as Republican.

      Or, you agree with George Washington that partisan politics was the stupidest thing this country could ever do.

      Or, your religion forbids you from engaging in partisan politics.
