I'm not trying to shift blame. There would have to be blame for that. The blame is just your opinion. You don't know me.
And you can't link any direct harm to any vote I have ever made. You just find comfort in your accusations. That is the hate I'm talking about.
And for the record, I have stated that I would vote for mickey mouse against Trump in November.
You seriously believe I'm in any way comfortable with my fellow Americans voting in any capacity for a party, individual candidate or not, considers me on par with a sexual offender?
Nothing you have said or ever could say could be more offensive then this.
I despair for this country because otherwise reasonable people such as yourself can still contemplate voting for a party of ghouls who clearly relish being reactionary.
We are not aware of this. "Transmarine found beaten to death outside bar in Quantico" Does that sound like an unlikely headline? Or "DoD expresses fear for transPoW in Mideast".
The DoD policy was a deliberate effort to migrate a hard path.
The Trump tweets about this effort (which don't match what DoD did, but whatevs) were #MAGA
This conversation is a bit about what the base is yelling for, the people wearing the hats. Just because the DoD carefully crafted new policy, it doesn't mean that the #MAGA hats are reasonable or represent reasonable things.

NO, you can't generalize like that. You can't list one legislative vote by anyone that I ever voted for that has directly harmed you or another minority. Yet you condemn me. That's speaks poorly more of you than me.
Beats voting straight party any day of the week. You can prefer to let others choose who you should vote for. That's what I consider naive.
If you believe that just because they have the label in front of the name makes them morally superior is just silly.
I get that Chicago is a unique place and likely has political trends / environment different from the country at large, but for a lot of us there simply isn’t any viable option besides straight ticket democrat. In all elections I have been able to vote in the GOP candidates have been either: Romney, Trump, some random Republican who ran on a “Hate Metro Minnesota” platform, or a potbellied shock jock who lamented being unable to call women sluts.
The Democrats on the other hand have been largely competent left of center focusing on health, education, the environment, and infrastructure. Not like there is much of a choice for a young lefty living in the greater metro area.

Name me those that you voted for and let's see their records.
And I will generalize when that party has made no attempts to distance itself from its past, a repugnant and bigoted past, a past it still weas with pride.
I've already proven my point. You can condemn whoever you want without knowing any real facts about the person.
Your hatred blinds you and I do feel sorry for you.

I want to know who you voted for so I can check their record,because I don't trust someone who has bandied about the fact they marched for minorities but yet cannot accept that the GOP is openly hostile to them, on an intrinsic level.
There's a world of difference between judging someone on an immutable characteristic and judging someone on who they've voted for.
Which you know.
See, others might be polite enough to not press the issue but I have no such problems, because there's an underlying contradiction between what you claim to be; an ally and your record of voting, you think the past absolves you of what you do now and it does not.
The GOP acts in lockstep, your attempts to justify or minimize your votes don't wash with me and I suspect they wouldn't be considered acceptable to many others on the receiving end.
The Republican Party is also known for having a party line that can't be drifted from. The Democrats have the same, albeit to a lesser extent.
An individual Republican rep might be okay, but this likely falls short where it matters in the voting record.
Of course, I'm certain Cloud would be happy to be proven wrong. It is a little concerning that Rah insisted on the idea of an Honorable Republican™ outside of the GOP but immediately leaves in a huff when asked for specifics.
The Democrat's line is easier to drift from without anyone noticing because it's about 20 miles long. It's hard to keep track of everything they're passionate about and all the reasons I'm a ghoul.
It has nothing to do with 'moral superior.' It has to do with the absolute fact that whether YOU are a straight party voter or not isn't the issue, the issue is that whoever you vote for, they ARE.
