@reasoning logic,
Well, to be clear, I meant both names as seen in the dictionary. If you went back and looked at the conversation, I think you would see my thought process.
"What I find often is that many of us stereotype republicans and democrats as if they are all alike and share all the same views."
I think the problem here is that there is more than Democrat or Republican. Everybody who doesn't want a wasted vote is going to vote for the party CLOSEST to what they believe, however two parties do not cover the broader spectrum of what people actually think. Neither party has the flexibility to make decisions that suit everyone.
I am conservative, because I want less central government, and the thought of a government dictated society scares me. I also don't like a lot of left leaning activist groups. I don't like abortion. I also don't like HRC.
I don't LOVE Trump either. I don't like the wall idea at all (too expensive), I don't like his lies, I don't like his jerry springer like appeal to racist assholes and America's trash. (However, he needed the vote like HRC needed the social justice warrior types. I get what he was doing).
If there was a third party I thought had a chance, then I would have went with that. It was like choosing between eating a poop sandwich (HRC),
or a mystery meat sandwich (Donald Trump).
