Why NOT to vote Republican

[Yppej]

Most faith based programs are open to all. They certainly were open to me when as a non-believing single parent I was looking for affordable daycare for my son. He attended nondenominational Christian, Adventist, and Baptist programs.

People in safe neighborhoods ... or dismiss certain crimes as not worth prosecuting, never giving much thought to tens of thousands of victims of common, everyday crime.

Indeed. And the definition of crimes not worth prosecuting can be mindboggling to me. For instance I know of some people who think that stealing national defense secrets and putting together and implementing a complex multi-pronged plan to overturn a valid election are crimes not worth investigating or prosecuting. Some of those people have even gone so far as to accuse others who would like to see investigation and, if warranted, prosecution of those crimes of attempting a "purge" of the criminals involved.

Many crimes my city doesn't prosecute so the Chief can say crime is going down and get a good raise. I reported theft from a disabled person. They wouldn't even write up an incident report.

But the Chief did find an hour to come sit and stare at me the first time I met with the Board of Health to try to intimidate me into following the mask mandate. I guess civil offenses don't count towards his crime stats.

Police brutality! I hope you got it all recorded on your cell phone!

I didn't, but since then they got paranoid and now have an announcement at the start of every meeting that anyone recording the meeting must identify themself by name and address, although everything is already broadcast on local cable access TV.

Why TO vote Republican?

Shoot, even I would consider voting for this gutsy, fun-loving candidate for Utah Senator! The medium is the message.

There was a sane and sensible Republican in Washington--Kim Wyman--who, as secretary of state, defended the 2020 election against local election deniers. I was considering voting for her until I found out she had been hired away by the Biden administration. Oh well.

Not enough info ... generalizations... would check further if I could vote for her. BUT at least her ad was not insulting or cutting anyone down.. which is something.

Oh, I was just responding to her unique way of messaging, not her message
