$Just like “feminist,” “Democrat” was a dirty word growing up. I could never understand why people were for big government and liberal “socialism” over local government and fiscal conservatism. This is why I want to BRIEFLY share why as a former Republican, I am voting for Biden. . I no longer recognize the Republican Party. 2016 is when I found myself outraged by the leadership’s failure to stand up and stand against a man who I felt represented the opposite of Republican ideals. That outrage has only grown over the last few years as almost every eye as turned blind to what I can only describe as “immoral” behavior that in my mind discredits a sacred office. . (Just imagine how Obama would have been criticized for yearrrrrs if he had just ONE of Trump’s infractions, such a paying off a prostitute or doing nothing when he knew Russians were offered bounty for killing our troops.) . That outrage also continued as I saw Republican policies and leaders that only focused on maintaining power, protecting wealth at all costs, and sadistic fear towards the displaced and disenfranchised. “Am I my brother’s keeper?” . I am voting for Biden, not because I think he’s the perfect person for the job. I’ve never seen a president as a savior. I’m voting for him because as a moderate, I fear the radical divide our country is facing and how “leaders” are fanning those flames. . I fear the loss of democracy, at worse. . I am voting Democrat, not because I’m a socialist (swipe), but because I cannot fathom separating a nursing baby from her mother seeking asylum at the border. I can’t fathom white supremecists being called “good people.” I can’t fathom us not wanting to help the poor and the needy. . I am voting Democrat because its current policies come closest to my religious and moral values. I am voting Democrat BECAUSE I love God, and I want to serve my fellow men instead of only looking out for myself and my tax bracket. #thisiswhy2020 . (Note: I’m not trying to change minds, so no need to try to change mine. Let’s all keep it respectful! Also, I have a comment below about abortion, specifically.) . (EDIT: Comments closed due to fights instead of dialogue.)$
