BG, a couple further thoughts on your “Dem leaning” comment. If you look through this forum’s long history and try to find me ever taking a side on the R-vs-D debate, you won’t find anything. I don’t participate in those debates (and don’t find them very useful or interesting fwiw).
This is not about R vs D or L vs C. It’s about Donald Trump, the person. My antipathy towards him is not because of his political party, but because he is a terrible, terrible person who brings out the worst in other people.
He takes everything I loathe about modern US politics — the mean-spiritedness, the disdain for facts and analysis, the bullying, the shouting, the anti-intellectual and anti-science bias, the conspiracy theories, and more — and he multiplies it by 10, and discards the rest. To me, he represents the very worst of American culture, distilled, with nothing to redeem him.
I don’t care what party he is with. I just couldn’t care less. He’s an abomination, whatever his party. I would vote for practically anyone over Trump. Even you, BG!
So please, spare me the accusations of “partisanship”…
