Republicans - I can't bring myself to endorse them any longer, but neither can I currently condemn them.
However the left is too accommodating of elements that I would consider hate groups and I consider SJWs to be sociopaths. These are people devoid of empathy or sympathy, utterly self-righteous, deluded, ignorant, bigoted, petty and cultishly narcissistic. They are modern day witch burners. On top of that, and most of all, they are bullies. Because in the world of "social justice" humanity and basic decency are the things most lacking
So I will continue to pull the R lever (and always vote against incumbent judges regardless of their party.)
When I do vote republican its normally because the party I have been registered to vote for 30 years collectively lost its freaking mind and soul about the time the Clinton administration was winding down. Its been a complete sh!tshow ever since.

I don't get this fascination of SJW that the right seems to have, as if they're some major force within all left leaning groups and exert actual influence. It almost comes off as you don't realize the people pushing that SJW narrative are intentionally seeking out any example of that poor behavior, and intentionally misrepresenting it as representative of the left in general when it really isn't.
Regardless, it seems ridiculous to vote against your actual views because you don't like some of the people within one of the two political parties in this nation.

My problem is that a vote for either republicans or democrats is a vote against my actual views.

I was just banned from my long term membership and strong posting history from a website about Minneapolis urban issues. My crime? Asking repeatedly for the other posters to stop racist comments about white males and making fun of suburbanites. This made a number of other posters feel, and I quote: "unsafe."
Banned. For asking local Minneapolis social justice warriors to not be racist! Tell me again how how I'm misrepresenting how SJW don't hold mighty sway over liberalism?
Liberals have become smug and condescending toward anyone who does not match the personal lifestyle choices of liberal elites. And it came back to bite them, hard.

Wait, your evidence of widespread problems of SJWs within the Democratic Party is that you were banned from a private message board? Holy hell, what a baby. I've been banned from half a dozen pro-Trump message boards for literally quoting Trump himself, and I'd be an idiot for using that as a reason to vote a specific way.
Because I believe this nation ought to be run and governed by adults.
Because I value hard work and believe that while it is our duty at citizens to pay taxes, I believe that Democrats have created a grotesquely bloated, fraud-rampant welfare state in which hard-working citizens are EXTREMELY overtaxed, and our tax dollars are wasted, while many choose to stay home and reap the benefits of our hard work.
Because I believe that borders define a sovereign nation.
Because I believe in the Constitution.
Because I believe that the United States is still the "shining city on a hill".
Because I am not embarrassed about our history and will NEVER apologize for the founding of our country.
Because I believe that equal opportunity does not guarantee equal results.
Because I understand our need for a strong, well-funded military.

Quite honestly don't know if you're being serious, here.
Because you were banned from a message board .......... that means anything about the real world?!?!?!?!?! Holy ... cow .... you can't really be pretending to profess that ... right?

I love your dismissal to "git outta here with your real world experience and first hand knowledge."
My experience as a whole living in far-left liberal city is that not only are “social justice warriors” usually broken people with mental problems, they hold tremendous sway in politics in my area and on the national stage.
In fact, it's pretty odd that you believe that SJW do not have a big impact on the current Democrat party.

Holy heck, did not not see the debates for the new chair of the DNC? It was something positively masturbatory for SJW's. It was racist sjw word salad nonsense.
"My Job is to make sure white people shut up, acknowledge their privlige"
"No more white people leading the democratic party"
A montage...
Oh yea, clearly SJW's have no penetration into the DNC.

Huskie Jebus on a pogo stick, Donald J Trump is the President of the United States of America and you are claiming there is no evidence to support that SJW hold tremendous sway over liberal politics in this country.... What do you think drove people to vote for him, his good looks?
The Democrat party has been crushed—not just in the recent presidential election, but in countless down-ballot elections - because of their reliance on identity politics. Continue to ignore this very real reality at your peril
But continue to handwave it away wouldn't bother me in the least, so please, continue with your willful ignorance of what is currently rotting liberalism.
