That’s a terrible assumption of my stance on abortion. Keeping this super easy, I just don’t like it. One party is against it, one is for it.

Again- this issue has already been decided. It is not a reason to vote Republican.

I assume you mean Ukraine?

I do not. If you don't even understand the very basic fact that Republicans have been on Russia's side for this entire conflict, you are very politically naïve.

Well, that’s why I disagree with any political initiative to frame that as discrimination. It’s not. Otherwise, driving, buying alcohol, renting cars, etc is also all discrimination because you have to have a driver’s license.

Oh, you mean the thing you have to have when you register to vote? Like I said, same thing for my entire 20+ years of voting. Have you never actually registered to vote?

Disagree.

You can disagree that Republicans want zero gun regulations, but unless you can name a few, your disagreement is moot.

You still haven't given me a good reason for you to vote Republican.

you haven’t given me any reason to think that every person who votes for that party is a fascist, hates women, hates poor people, etc.

I didn't say they were. I said they supported people who are. Which makes them just as bad. And makes you just as bad for supporting them too, especially since you have not given one single rational reason to support them and several highly irrational explanations.

Also, you still have said nothing about the hateful, bigoted Republican position on LGBT+ people, which makes me think you agree with it.
