Government is incompetent, and as a Bernie Sanders supporter I'm surprised you don't think at least most politicians are corrupt.
My point is the Tea Party movement became what it is because of fiscal issues. Whatever rhetoric they use to support that basic principle doesn't really matter to me. I'm not swayed by rhetoric.
There's Republican politicians who are willing to work together and compromise, and those are the ones I like to vote for. I rather vote for a Republican who obstructs than a Democrat who votes for big government policies.
Ah, we're having a discussion so the anti-Christianity point has to come up. The lack of compromise between the two parties has basically nothing to do with Republicans holding Christian positions.
I do think that a lot of our government is incompetent, just not all of it. I don't want to abolish the IRS and get rid of the EPA like many Republicans have said.
I also do think that many of our politicians are corrupt, but a large part of that is because we have a system that allows for corruption. Bernie Sanders is now the only candidate left out of Trump, HRC, and himself that actually advocates for campaign finance reform.
I think you're wrong about the Christianity point. Many important legislation has been blocked in the name of Christian values. Republicans have gone crazy about abortion and gay marriage these past few years. I understand their positions on them and why they are so passionate about them but they hold up and obstruct other important legislation to earn political points from this supporters just so that they can say they voted against abortion or gay marriage/trans issues.
"I rather vote for a Republican who obstructs than a Democrat who votes for big government policies." And this is precisely why Republicans will continue to be displeased with their own party and get no real Conservative agenda passed in Washington. You guys say you want compromise, but you then you don't compromise.
I'm reminded again of why I don't feel bad that Trump is the GOP's nominee. The Republican party deserves Trump. Yall deserve to be so unhappy with your party.
