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.
Again, rhetoric is just rhetoric. Many Americans don't feel like the government is representing them. Personally, I don't expect the government to do much more than what they are doing right now, so I'm apathetic. I'm not waiting around for the government to give me opportunity.
How have Republicans done anything different concerning abortion and gay marriage? We've always opposed both, and we've always voted down legislation that supported either. I think you assume that Republicans haven't been principled about this issue before you started following politics. Let's remember, most Democrats had a principled Christian stance on gay marriage before they realized it was politically expedient to change their mind.
I already corrected you on this. I'm the outlier. I don't think most Republicans want the kind of compromise I want. In principle I can't support a Democrat because they believe in a bunch of ridiculous ideas. I'm only supporting Hillary because Trump is unfit to be president and Republican voters need to be taught a lesson.
