But do you really expect lifelong Republicans would vote for a democrat?Every vote for Biden is a FU to MAGA.
Every write in for Ronald Reagan is a bitch move.

Same, I'm in a solid blue state. In 2016 I wrote in Bernie (the state still went for Hillary). This year I cast my vote for Biden, I know that my state will go to Biden even without my vote, and I know that EC is all that matters, but I still want to deliver Trump the most resounding popular vote defeat possible. Because fuck that guy and fuck GOP.In a solid blue state I could do so, but this is a referendum on ending the Trump Error. I want my vote to count in the popular vote total.
Who and why?
A good friend of mine back home is a lifelong republican and is casting her vote for Biden. She’s an evangelical, pro life Christian and she’s going straight ticket democrat.But do you really expect lifelong Republicans would vote for a democrat?
Jo, because 1. her beliefs are closest to mine, and 2. neither Trump nor Biden are fit for office.
edit: IMHO
I don't know anything about her. Which beliefs do you two align on?
These seem like vague ideas.Heres a few:
opposes federal civil asset forfeiture and qualified immunity
opposes embargoes, economic sanctions, and foreign aid
supports cutting government spending to reduce taxes
elimination of trade barriers and tariffs
supports the repeal of quotas on the number of people who can legally enter the United States to work, visit, or reside
There are a few things I disagree on, but my agreements far outweigh my disagreements.
These seem like vague ideas.
For example:
"supports cutting government spending to reduce taxes"
This sounds awesome to me but does she have a plan to do it? I see that one a lot but it doesn't ever same to have a valid plan to back it up.

Elmo write ins going to get more votes than herJo, because 1. her beliefs are closest to mine, and 2. neither Trump nor Biden are fit for office.

Alot of details are on her website. One area of reduced spending is military:
Military spending is spread throughout the budget. It totals more than $1 trillion per year. Just Pentagon spending alone is more than the spending of the next seven largest military countries combined!
To fight whom exactly? There is no threat or combination of threats that justify such a budget.
And we don’t even know what we’re getting for our money. The Pentagon refused audits until 2018, when it finally completed one – and failed miserably!
We do know that the F-35 has wasted nearly $1 trillion – equal to our entire defense spending for a year. On one project! The waste and incompetence don’t stop there. But there can be no incentive to perform when Congress and the president always give the Pentagon a blank check.
Meanwhile, 25 trillion dollars in national debt represents a real threat to American security. We must stop spending and borrowing so much.
As President, I will veto any military spending bill that does not cut defense spending dramatically.
This will allow us to finally balance the federal budget, so we stop adding to the nation’s debt. When we return financial resources to the private sector, we’ll see millions of new, private-sector jobs for our military personnel to choose from.
Does she have her plan detailed on some place I am missing. I can only find the below on cutting military spending. That is 203 words. If that's it, I could have come up with her pan in like 15 minutes and I type slow. Some posters on these forums have a higher average post word count.

Isnt that what all campaign promises are? Ideas?
You understand when campaigning no candidate ever has a complete 400 page plan for everything they promise. Right? Its about ideas.
Yes and do you realize they usually have idea a little more fleshed out than this?
If you really care, which you dont, you could easily spend a bit of time understanding what is important to her. But you've already decided who youre voting for, so why waste my time? Its not my responsibility to sell you my pick for POTUS.

I just read her healthcare page and it is idiotic. Have you read it? She actually bring up the healthcare system of Singapore.
He was on the California ballot as someone's VP.Well, Kanye has officially qualified in MD to appear on the ballot "as a write in." ...I honestly don't know what that means--isn't every person and object "qualified" as a write-in?
Hell, our stupid governor wrote in Reagan, and Reagan's a fucking retarded corpse. Though, I bet he feels real stupid now, having voted before he could officially vote for Kanye!

I am simply wondering what draws someone to vote 3rd party. I just ready her page on education and it seems chaotic. She states
"The scene that results in many neighborhoods of color is hundreds of families entering themselves into a lottery; anxiously waiting in a community center, hoping that their number is pulled out from a bingo machine so that their child can get the education they deserve. "
but never addresses how that will get fixed other than "education marketplace"??? and ending federal involvement of college student loans.
