There Are No Good Republicans For All Practical Purposes Now.

People who are Republicans and who will vote GOP and avidly vote GOP are NOT good people. How can you be a good person if you vote to support all this evil garbage on the US landscape. You are now supporting a party that is avidly pro Russian and very pro racist. We know the GOP is going to run on aggressive and vicious racism, bigotry, hate and even inciting elimination of anything NOT Trump. They are in fact proud and even brazen about it.

We are more than divided now. They do not accept democracy or debate. They only accept eliminationist tribalism very similar to what happened in Rwanda. Look at the present political landscape right now. Look at their rhetoric and their intentions.

a charismatic statesman could lead the GOP out of the wilderness the way a charismatic dolt led it in.

They don't follow drumpf because he's charismatic but because PUtin has dirt on them from the RNC hack and they've personally invested in Russia by taking their $$ and accepting their vote hacking and taking steps to ensure that we aren't protected from them in the next elections by refusing to change our voting systems to protect our right to vote and have it recorded properly.

They weren't nearly this wrong, and they also weren't allergic to compromise. That's the big difference I think.

They are not nice people and kind of losers. I stay away from them and keep my interactions to them as minimal. I once froze and left a person quickly when they said they loved twitler.

why so many Democrats running for office feel as if they need to chase "moderate" Republican voters.

Doesn't it?
