I feel it's important that people be able to have some sort of dialogue even when we don't agree. Because politics is one of those areas where people have strong opinions and will never always see eye to eye.
I go out of my way to see the other person's perspective, even when I don't believe in it at all. That person and their opinion still matters to me. Because we still have to try to live together in peace. Even though we probably have different paths to getting there.
I would never cancel a person just over an opinion. Nor would I like a person just because we agree. When everyone is in lock step, that's the opening for a dictatorship. I prefer people with various opinions, even if they are the opposite of mine.
One thing I think we all can agree on, the next 10 months are going to be very interesting.

As far as I can tell, nobody's been "cancelled" over politics here.

Trump is refreshing in that he doesn't use much political double talk as most politicians do. I don't think his verbal browbeating helps-the receiver of his tirade seems to dig deeper into his view. I don't know how dedicated he is to the blue collar worker. There are stories he stiffs contractors with claims of contract violations. My friend's husband went to court to get his money, but had to give up because he didn't have the money for attorney to answer the myriade court filings from Trump attorneys. Not saying I know how valid my friend's husband claim was, but his experience fit the claim that Trump stiffed contractors.
All told, I'm not watching much of primary season. I'd rather not have either of the choices likely to win their party's nomination.
I like Trump better as a pitchman. After his divorce from Ivanka, he did a pizza commercial with her, It ended with her grabbing another slice and Trump reminding her "Remember, only half" He also did a credit card commercial located at a construction site. He holds up the card, the wind blows it out of his hand, commercial ends with Trump in a dumpster looking for his card. I wish he would show more of his humor instead of all the name calling.

Maybe New Yorkers understand Trump. I've read he has the typical New York attitude. There was cheating that helped Biden. He promised the health workers more money. Family members of some in nursing homes spoke out. Their loved ones were incapable of voting, and one family took their loved one to vote but was told they already voted. Plus, there was information suppressed. Remember at a Trump-Biden debate China was mentioned. Biden denied it. He wrote recommendation letters to colleges to some of Hunter's Chinese partners for their children(so Biden's either stupid ,which isn't a good President or lying.

It seems both parties are going all in for their guy.At least it's unifying the 2 parties, besides Manchin could make it interesting. I just want a fair fight. Trump is accused of harassment but so was Biden. Isn't something worth what they can get for it. I read Hunter's paintings went for a lot of money. Wouldn't a fair and balanced media bring both stories.Isn't there always stories on Antique Roadshow? Both Biden and Trump have gaffes. As far as I know Trump isn't religious, but Biden is. There's a saying let the man without sin cast the first stone. You shouldn't bring up somebody's shortcoming if you have the same one.

Voted for trump in 2016, won't be voting for him in 2024. And of course he'll say it's some sort of sabotage or tampering. '

Almost all the votes Haley got in New Hampshire came from Democrats.
Even though it was for the Republican nomination, the swamp creatures are so terrified of Trump's Presidency that they're convincing Democrats to vote in the other Party's Primaries.
Too bad for her that actual Republicans are solidly behind Trump.
Certainly almost no Republicans want Haley one bit, so she might as well become a Democrat and run for their nomination. She'd have as good a shot at becoming President doing that as she is running as a Republican. About a 5% chance.

Trump has won all 26 of the Nevada delegates. Haley gets none.
The Trump-Train moves along unimpeded.
What the hell is Haley doing? I think she's working for the Deep State - which means she's working for the Democrat Party and the RINO's. Trying to find an opportunity to hurt Trump somewhere along the way over something, anything. She has absolutely zero chance of becoming President, yet someone is funding her millions anyway.
Deep State will never stop until it's eradicated.

That's what happens when you try to go communist while claiming otherwise. I don't know what they'll do if something happens to Trump. With Biden so obviously forgetful.They are pushing he's better than Evil Trump. Can't they find somebody as a leader who's capable. Remember Biden's got the Nuclear Football. Isn't the president the most important job in the U.S.Just like Hur's report. Biden claimed he had a right to the notebook. I saw some democrat saying Hur should haven't have given a reason for no charges. The part about Biden's fitness.We are supposed to have free speech. The laptop story and Covid information was shut down by the democrats. Now the lab leak is a possible scenario. Dictator's shut down opposing views When Trump was President people and media were saying things against him. If he is a dictator, why didn't he stop them on twitter, Facebook. I wonder how much press there'd be if one of Trump's children lost their gun like Hunter. The democrats are worried about a third-party candidate. If they'd pick a person who was a candidate that could handle the important job (since they think Trump is such an evil person)

Dictator. Please.
You can't believe a word the Democrats or their establishment Media say. They are corrupt, evil-doing entities that will say or do anything - and I mean anything - about anybody (let alone Trump) who they view as opposed to their "purposes".
