one significantly more corrupt than the other, will you vote your party, your conscience, or only vote down-ballot?

(2,101 posts)37. Sure, great idea. Imagine if you will how nice it would be
to make DU what it was when it started - a handful of loyalists in a safe corner of the internet, undisturbed by those with opinions differing from their own. Getting rid of all the pesky posters that don't group-think well with loyalists. With just a little luck and a big push from the admins here enough may throw up their arms and leave, self deport if you will, eliminating the need for so many here to have enemy (oops, make that purge) lists. Great post. Lets make DU great again.

(166 posts)I don't talk openly about who I'm voting for but I'll say this, I won't vote for a candidate that goes against my principle beliefs, so if the candidate is for, let's say Fracking, I can't vote for that person. If the person doesn't see a problem with Capital Punishment, I can't vote for that person. If the person is willing to renegotiate abortion law to make it more restrictive on women, I can't vote for that person. I think you can see where I'm going with this...
I'll also vote down-ballot, but again I'll only be voting for the candidates that I agree with on the issues that are so very important to me.

This makes a big difference when you weigh the possible turn of events in the world at large that will happen.

(14,195 posts)against Iran, or make apologies for Netanyahu. Or have the incredibly shortsightedness and poor judgement Hillary showed on IWR, Hondouras, Syria....
So, no. Sorry. She is simply to extreme for me. If I am to get a pres who is that far right, let that pres have an honest R after their name.

(12,412 posts)Unless you have positive proof, QPQ, of corruption involved in these choices, non of which has been presented.
I am a Bernie supporter and the issues you raised are most important to me. I also know that if the Republicans get into the WH these very same issues will become even larger problems. I do not think we can afford that situation.

If Bernie's staying in, talk him up. This constant slash and bern crap has reached its expiration date.
