No, I remain a Republican because I agree with the party’s stated positions on the free market, school choice, a balanced budget, low taxes, fewer regulations and tariffs, protecting unborn babies, encouraging personal responsibility, maintaining a strong presence in the world, enforcing rule of law, and upholding the Constitution.

Your comment reeks of the very same blatant partisanship that the modern republican party suffers from, or what I call ‘team spirit’. The policies he lists seem anti-welfare and democratic.

I criticize the Republican Party as they are anti-democratic and isolationist as well as favouring the prison system over education and rehabilitation. This keeping them on the very welfare system they want to reduce. Some other policies benefit companies too much also such as the school choice.

Had Republicans continued to focus on problem solving instead of obstructionism, perhaps I’d be more inclined to vote for them

they’re hurting the people I want to hurt!

An article about politics being a “team sport” with a “I agree with all of the policies of my team” cherry on top.
