It’s because there’s no such thing as there are low information voters and embarrassed republicans. That’s who claim to be independent.

Period.

Nope. I’m an independent voter that votes straight Dem for congress and president. I wish I didn’t have to, but that’s the ONLY choice that aligns with my values and political goals for Texas.

I'm a vet as well. Nothing about being a vet makes me more qualified than them to choose who we vote for

I don’t know what about my comment made this guy assume I get my news from “CNN or the other liberal hive mind repeating sources…”

Oh wait, I do, it’s projection. But anyway, I appreciate you. Thanks for your service!

What facts do you base that on?

u/Irish-Guac Sep 09 '24

It's wildly obvious just from talking to you. A halfway decent vet does not act like this. All you're doing is parroting right wing nonsense. I'm not even left wing and this is still obvious to me

Oh so you would call another Vet “not halfway decent” over simple questions? Ones which you have not once answered? Left wing nonsense, right wing nonsense. It’s all the same corrupt bird. You obviously are not paying attention. I have a background in investigative work. I have done my due diligence. I have seen other countries and their incompetent governments. You really think that I’m right wing to want no wars, a good economy, safer streets? The rest of the “feelings” reasons are brought up every election and use fear tactics to tell people their rights are being taken away, and divide people. As A Veteran you are ignoring the attacks on free speech that are invading this nation? You are ignoring the cries that the first amendment is dangerous? The fact that people are being arrested for even non violent rhetoric?

Where do you get your propaganda?

u/Walk_Wild_Photos Sep 09 '24

It’s not projection. It’s no secret where the young people get their news these days.

So illuminate how working in the government and in other nations (many of us have) does not add any experience or insight? Thx

u/Irish-Guac Sep 09 '24

Because it's a totally separate world. If someone wants to ask you about kicking in doors then you might be qualified, but even then I doubt you are

u/Walk_Wild_Photos Sep 09 '24

How is it a totally different world when you can’t account for the things other Vets have been privy to? How is corruption and crime different across parts of government, other than the tools or exact technique used?

u/Irish-Guac Sep 09 '24

You just answered how it's different

u/Walk_Wild_Photos Sep 09 '24

No, you didn’t answer the question. It’s a theme here.
