They should run as Republicans, the fucking slimes.
Literally poison to the party, the complete opposite of the change inside the party people are looking for.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If you were duped by that guy, you were either not paying attention or just really stupid. Not the kind I want inserting themselves into decision making. Fuck all the way off, please.
They think their imaginary friend can make their wishes come true, but chooses not to. They aren’t smart.
As much as I’d like to agree, there are rational reasons to have religion.
Can we really call it rational reasoning when making decisions about survival and safety under coercion or threat of violence?
Keep religious types out of the Democratic party. They only bring their problematic views and conservative bullshit with them. The party already has enough problems of their own with turncoats, Republican pandering, and kowtowing to rich lobbyists.
I forget which republican it was in the 80s that tried raising the alarm about courting the religious right. The essence of what they said was that you couldn't negotiate or compromise with someone who thinks they have god on their side.
Please don't cost me my rights
Like ultimately I can stand with them if they worship the Jesus who welcomed eunuchs and prostitutes, and there's something positive if they can see the good in socially progressive issues. Otherwise, if they're just going to say "fuck the queers and women, but not the poor and immigrants" I'd rather they change the republican party.
I just never really understood anyone that could sit there and listen to what the cons and Republicans say and do and what their aims are and then think any of that lines up with red letter stuff from "the" bible.
But I'm thinking a lot of conservative xtians are not really readers, despite all their talk of "the" bible.
A lot of them have bought into prosperity gospel where your bak account is the measure of your faith in god.
Easy. Dems being taken over by the enemy. Enjoy voting!
I hope their faith guides them but does not control nor blind them.
Part of the problem that we have in this country, is that this idea of "Separation of Church and State" (which I quote because it's a joke now), is dead. I don't care if you're a running pastor who aligns themselves with Democrat. Democrat or Republican or Independent, your religious beliefs have NO place in governing everyone else's lives. Especially lives of those that do not believe what you believe.
We've suffered enough of that shit and we're suffering it now.
Too little too late white men.
