It's silly to say their ideology is in the center, but they're not shackled to partisanship in the way that you are.

I’m hardly shackled. I don’t always vote “R”. I’ve voted “I” several times. I actually strongly argued AGAINST Trump before his election. There were several candidates I preferred. This isn’t about political dogma in every respect for me. It’s about truth, reality, and moving forward in the best way possible.

Than I don't really know what your issue would be with protestors. If you're truly independent and not wanting it to be about parties, I'd think you'd find a lot of common ground with the person who wants both Trump and de Blasio to pack their bags. That person at least has shown they're willing to call out their own.

I have zero issue with Trump not being President. I don’t love him at all. I like him a million times better than anybody the Dems have paraded around over the last year. And he’s infinitely better than Biden. But there are plenty of people I’d much rather have the job.

I’m a supporter for sure. That doesn’t mean I condone or believe all his rhetoric. It means I think he’s better than anything the left has to offer, and there are no other viable choices.

Show me where the bad liberal touched you

So which is it? Sounds like you have at least one issue.

Id rather many other republicans be president than Trump. I’d rather Trump than any of the potential Dems. Is that easy enough for you to understand?

It’s that bad for the Dems. They’re truly awful. Imagine not seeing that even though it’s blatantly obvious.

How'd you feel about the soaring economy throughout the entirety of Obamas occupancy of the house?

So it IS political dogma, then. Since you’ll never vote democrat.
