My ultra far left wing liberal buddy from UCLA just asked who I voted for, and unfortunately, this was my response… 😅
First and foremost, I vote for democracy and the principles of which this great nation was founded…
I vote for government leadership that adheres to the constitution of the United States and its 27 amendments…
I vote for leadership that holds our country and its officials accountable for any sort of deviation from “supreme law”…
I vote for the optimist and the forward thinker, the ones who believe the key to creating a better future lies not in what we say, but what we do…
I vote to uphold the 3 branch government system and the difficult yet necessary checks & balances that come with it…
I vote for equality of all races and genders, not so we can be the same, but so we can use our diversity to unify and thrive as a nation. Our multiple cultures and beautiful differences are the greatest asset we hold…
I vote for bipartisan triumph and people who have the balls to deviate from political party agendas and the ability to stick their middle finger up to lobbyists consumed in self interests that do absolutely nothing for the American people…
I vote for the elimination of the culture of expectation facilitated by government handouts that eliminate incentive to do the fucking work…
I vote for the state’s right to govern itself and the nation’s right to protect the overall establishment when genuine threats arrive and states lose complete control…
I vote for the rights of all businesses, big and small. Being a business owner needs to be a blessing, not a curse…
I vote for doing everything within our power to protect the environment and limit our carbon footprint while respecting the 3rd industrial revolution transition period to alternative energy sources…
I vote for free speech and the rights of any individual to choose when confronted with difficult moral and ethical decisions…
I vote for small government and the promotion of economic growth by limiting taxes and overzealous government rules & regulations…
I vote for our military and the continued adaptations and development of all of its branches…
I vote for national security and the protection of this great nation and its infrastructure at all costs…
I vote for an overhaul of the public education system by cutting school hours but targeting teaching to kids specific needs and style of learning…
I vote for mandated physical education promoting mental stimulation and increased classroom concentration…
I vote for efficiency in everything we do…
I vote for effectiveness in everything we complete…
I vote for the elimination of bullshit gerrymandering & filibustering…
I vote for Obama’s unifying speaking ability…
I vote for Reagan’s trickle down economics…
I vote for Bush’s humility…
I vote for Kennedy’s charisma…
I vote for Teddy Roosevelt’s Bull Moose Progressive Party…
I vote for Lincoln’s strength…
I vote for Washington’s savagery…
I vote for Marcus Aurelius’ wisdom…
I vote for Jesus’ grace…
I vote NOT as a democrat or a republican…
I vote FOR character…
I vote FOR policy…
That said, I would have voted for the greater being and prosperous future of the United States of America but my Arizona swing state ballot that was supposedly sent out on October 9th mysteriously never arrived. 🤷♂️
If anybody finds it please let me know. I was really looking forward to filling it out this year…
Thanks!
