I'm obviously not Tech, but to answer your question, I would not vote for Trump if I found out that he had died.Cortopassi wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 6:33 pm Tech, is there anything Trump could do or not do in the next four months that could get you to not vote for him? Not saying you’d vote for Biden, but just sit out?
Erm, are you sure? If he were to die right before the election, I'm guessing you'd still pull the lever for him over Biden. Not sure what would happen if he won...

(Sorry, just trying to lighten things up a bit.)
I'm not sure. I hear frequently about the Dems having dead people vote for live people (Chicago politics and such), but I'm not certain about a live person voting for a dead person. Something to ponder.Xan wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 7:27 amErm, are you sure? If he were to die right before the election, I'm guessing you'd still pull the lever for him over Biden.

Ditto. Hear, hear! WiseOne for President!MangoMan wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 11:22 am+1 Sign me up when that person runs. There is a greater chance of hell freezing over.WiseOne wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 10:45 am Here's what would make me vote Democratic instead of for Trump:
A new candidate in place of Biden who is a centrist/moderate Democrat.
That person explicitly repudiates most of the extreme Democratic positions on immigration, green new deal, BLM/reduced policing
The person makes a statement that racial justice does not have to mean putting up with crime, and that criminal enforcement will continue to be a priority especially in crime-prone communities
Open to a re-examination of welfare programs to see which ones actually benefit minorities as opposed to fostering dependency
Open to a redesign of the immigration system to prioritize people with something to contribute, e.g. using Canada or New Zealand as a model, and putting into place an asylum system that makes sense (e.g. Congress has to officially recognize an asylum-worthy condition in a given country before asylum can be claimed).
States that the US manufacturing should be self-sufficient for critical items such as medicines, hospital supplies, and other basic essential goods, and that offshoring of these must be limited.
IMHO this person would win big in November. Unfortunately, I don't believe such a person exists in either party who isn't Trump.
