which do you plan to vote for and why?
Will wait to see who’s running. Biden has been pathetic but cannot vote for Trump, so it’s about context. Yes, personality matters, particularly when someone’s ‘quirks’ resemble a dictator. At his rally yesterday Trump asked his follows to demonstrate if the government ever came after him with something he deems illegal or wrong. As I understand, German Jews were also surprised when their cherished democracy also disappeared. Not to put too fine a point on it, but just saying.
which have you gained more from?
Democrats definition of “gain” includes more than just personal gain. Ensuring a Muslim or even an idol-worshipper can basically practice his religion is a long-term gain for us too, that’s just how American legal system works. Laws don’t change religious views or abortion rates, they only increase and exacerbate opposition. There are more effective ways to influence morality. Yes, it’s a “slippery slope” and some rights I cannot support. But if you vote for a democrat for certain reasons, it doesn’t mean you agree with them on every issue.
Finally, I value long-term stability over “solving” short-lived hot button issues. No one will be making a seudas hodah 100 years from now celebrating the day America recognized Jerusalem.
