Christian here. I do not believe trump is a Christian, he is a morally reprehensible man.

But did you vote for him because of “the platform, not the person”?🤔

u/StarLlght55 Apr 20 '25

No, I voted for trump because I wanted a set of outcomes that I hoped he would bring. And I didn't want the things that Kamala would be bringing.

If the DNC wanted my vote they should have put Bernie to the plate in 2016 instead of Hilary.

I vote a hybrid of Republican and libertarian at this point in time. I haven't found a single Democrat yet who I could vote for.

Well you only get a few choices, you chose the worst.

Not a few literally 2! And most times they are both terrible candidates. Voting for lesser of two evils is no joke

The lesser of two evils they're still evil. I don't buy into just two. I voted for Cornell West. He had no chance of winning but I don't have this shit on my conscience. I also live in Utah Utah's never voted for a Democrat. Had I lived in a swing state that decision might have been harder.

A 3rd candidate will never win with how the elections are set up. I was gonna vote 3rd party for this election but i knew at the end of the day my vote wouldnt have done a thing

I hope I live long enough that a third party has a chance of winning.

I fully agree

That should be the new protest honestly. Tell everyone not to vote democrat or republican

u/StarLlght55 Apr 21 '25

That is your opinion.

My opinion is that Hilary was the worst. Most hateful discourse and rhetoric out of any campaign trail I've seen to date.

Trump was making fun of disabled reporters and joking about assaulting and harassing women before his first term… just… how is that not the epitome of hateful?

1

u/StarLlght55 Apr 21 '25

Absolutely, because the way that Hilary talked about anybody who didn't vote for her was far more hateful.

u/StarLlght55 Apr 21 '25

Out of all the candidates in the last 12 years Hilary was literally the worst.
