Your prompt reply would be helpful, as I would shudder at the thought of marching out of lockstep.
I seem to have opened a can of worms... I mean no offense by implying a sort of comradery among non-believers due to their having one major thing in common. The main point of the post, though (and it doesn't matter if two individuals are bitter enemies or besties), is to say fighting over politicians is just crazy.
Yes, we very much should debate and argue and get really fucking pissed about our own political views. Certainly, cast a vote for the one who most closely matches you beliefs, as well as meets what you think is best for our society. I am not even slightly implying I'm in charge, I only have an opinion (which I'll share without prompt). So, no lock-step required sir. :Fighting over Hillary and Trump just seems... like drinking the Kool-Aid. It seems as though we are being heavily manipulated.
Am I alone here? Am I alone?
The two are NOT the same. Hillary is center right and that part I do not like, but this is for me what the entire party, no one politician. Dems are on the right side of history, our problem is we have not had the same long term ground game organization and we have allowed as voters to have our politicians held hostage by the old white cold war narrative.
