have you voted [R] in the past

[galv]

thread title

have you ever voted for an [R]? either president or local rep or what have you

honestly the last [R] probably worth voting for was lincoln so prepare to be judged

 

[Heromanz]

No I'm not a racist and I'm also black

 

[Vern]

lol no

 

[KillLaCam]

No I'm a racial minority. There's no issue that could make me vote for them

 

[Mekanos]

Fuck no.

 

[KtotheRoc]

Nope.

 

[pokeystaples]

Naw. It never even crossed my mind, but I'm a black woman and most of us know better.

 

[Kangi]

For some local race between an R and a truly loony I. Never for a higher office.

 

[J-Tier]

Nope. Not once.

 

[Panther2103]

No

 

[FreeMufasa]

Yes. So what? C'mon then out with it.

Spoiler: SPOILER

lol nah. I'm not american. And I'm black.

 

[Sean]

No, and I never will. I've voted in every single Federal, State, County, City, local, etc election available to me since I've been able to vote - 18 years now. R's have been shit the entire 36 years I've been alive.

 

[maxxpower]

Thankfully no.

 

[rjinaz]

Yep. I was a Republican until about 10 years ago. I'm 36 now. Communities like this and a college education opened my mind outside of my very Conservative and Christian White family.

 

[Mona]

i think i might have filled in a circle for the unopposed R for a down ballot thing, dont really remember

 

[Transistor]

As a white male from Texas:

Fuck no

 

[abellwillring]

I did the first time I could vote. Once I moved out on my own and went through college I realized how fucked up that was though.

 

[Hilbert]

I voted for an R secretary of state in Washington state, Sam Reed.

That might be it.

 

[Seda]

I grew up in a Republican/conservative household, but by the time I reached voting age, I realized how stupid my family politics were and have always voted [D].

 

[Cow Mengde]

My first time voting was during the Bush re-election. Couldn't wait to get rid of him. Failed.

 

[EJS]

No, but honestly, what's the point of this thread?

 

[FantasyZone]

Only when there wasn't a choice of a Democrat. May have been some local positions like Coroner or Sheriff that I've voted R for.

 

[ChrisR]

Yes I have. Highest office being for Senate.

 

[Arc]

I voted for Charlie Baker, the Republican governor of Massachusetts. Though he's basically the definition of a "RINO".

 

[jack_package_200]

When I was in the 2nd grade they had us do a vote by ballot in class for who should be president between Bush and Gore.

I voted Bush.

I am so sorry. I was 8.

 

[Verelios]

Never. But I also live in NY so it won't happen in the forseeable future either.

 

[Tobor]

Never. My parents raised me right.

 

[makonero]

Yep. I was a Republican until about 10 years ago. I'm 36 now. Communities like this and a college education opened my mind outside of my very Conservative and Christian White family.

Same. First posts of mine at the other place are arguing against gay marriage. I've come a long way thanks to this community and living abroad.

 

[Coyote Starrk]

Never have. Never will.

 

[Deleted member 4482]

no

[Shake Appeal]

I can't even imagine the set of contextual factors that would lead me to drop a vote on an R.

There is no universe in which I can picture this.

 

[jack_package_200]

I think there's already been some valuable insight from people who have had a positive experience in the community showing how their R votes really ended up possibly hurting people.

 

[Kevers]

No, W was president when I turned 18 in 2004.

 

[Hollywood Duo]

Certainly not at a federal level, in some very local elections yes.

 

[ckareset]

No, but I use to be against gay marriage and abortion

 

[chaostrophy]

Nope, not once. Technically I'm Independent, I never registered Democrat since I've never needed to in order to vote in a D primary. But I'm 40, always vote, and have never voted for a Republican.

 

[Ryutaryi]

Nope. The first time I could vote was for Obama in '08, and I have been a straight [D] voter since. My parents constantly blaring conservative talk radio as I was growing up probably had the opposite effect of what they intended.

 

[Deleted member 7130]

Yes. I was a shitty bro with a colonized brain, not long out of high school, and soon to go to the military. I voted Bush.

As RATM would say, I had a bullet in my fuckin' head, but I pulled it out and I'm voting D every time.

 

[never]

I was "conservative" in college. I voted for George Bush. I used to hold a lot of really shitty opinions back then that I'm not proud of now and no longer hold.

 

[Nerokis]

yes, I used to approach state and local politics a bit more open-mindedly, thinking there was always a possibility I'd find at least one R who could be worth voting for

it only amounted to voting for a few Rs, but yeah, can't imagine doing so again in my lifetime

 

[rusty chrome]

I'm Latin, so no. Republicans are trash.

 

[Dysun]

No, and I've taken years of flack from my family for doing so

 

[Adder7806]

Nope, not once. Been voting for nearly 30 years now.

 

[LuigiMario]

Locally yes, but they're now independent so I guess that eases my mind a bit.

 

[Feep]

No, but I'm not going to shame anyone who has. Good on anyone who was able to break out of a literal cycle of brainwashing and open their eyes to a more kind point of view.

 

[Pwnz]

Local Texan positions, usually when the Democrat is an anti vaxxer nutter. I would vote all over, but usually dems. But not since trump, I see voting for the Republican brand as voting for nazis so fuck em

 

[Strangelove_77]

I'm not white.
