Why I Won't Vote Republican....
Aside from constant Republican efforts to limit voting rights in many Red States, by curtailing early voting, absentee ballots and by creating degrees of ID requirements, which are primarily aimed at the poor and minority elements of our population, which should be enough, in and of itself to reject Republican candidates.
The primary reason, I will NEVER vote Republican, is their attitude of hate and division. Republican leadership willfully ignored the ineptitude, arrogance and politics of racial and anti-immigrant pandering, which candidate and then President Donald Trump fostered among his rabid base.
Then Republican leaders not only stood by, in the 2020 election while Trump spread lies about the legitimacy of the election, which was validated by the electoral college, and our courts, but they actively joined him in perpetuating the Big Lie of a faulty election. Added to this blatant deceitfulness, was the President's vocal support for and fueling of, the flames of the January 6, 2021 Capitol Hill insurrection, designed to overthrow a legitimate democratic presidential election, to retain Donald Trump in office.
Republicans have opposed the science of vaccinations against the lethal Covid virus, tried to limit mask mandates designed to slow the spread of the disease, and in general promoted a stance, which has resulted in our hospitals being filled with ill anti-vaxxers, and our medical staffs being overworked and burdened by these same people.
So, no thank you. I will never vote Republican ever again, under any circumstances. The Republican party is the party of lies and lack of integrity. It is the party of supporting one percenters and the wealthy over the average American. It is the party against affordable healthcare and reasonably priced pharmaceuticals.
JUST SAY, "NO" TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN EVERY ELECTION!
