@engineer,
I agree with the Democrats on many issues. Better regulations for example. And lots of social spending paid for with taxes on the wealthy.
But I disagree with the left's bottomless well of hatred for anyone who doesn't agree with them, and their endless witch hunts against all who oppose them. And I oppose their efforts to violate the Second Amendment (especially since they try to violate it for no reason).
It is mostly true that I've not voted for any Democrat in a general election since the 2008 presidential primary. When the Democrats disenfranchised me I said I was going to vote for Republicans from there on out, and I always mean what I say.
There has been only one exception to that. One specific Democrat did something that I really liked. So I voted for them one time. Otherwise I've been doing a lot of voting for Republicans over the past decade. I even track down which nonpartisan judicial candidates are Republicans so I can vote for Republican judges.
