I was filling out my mail-in ballot

Then I hear that Pompeo says that there's about to be a lot of Hillary's emails,
that are very damning, released to the public. I was about to vote Libertarian when it dawned on me that Hillary wasn't actually running for any public office.
I voted a straight D ticket. What if there's really damning info tho?
What if FDR had health issues. Like polio. If FDR had polio, then maybe Trump is the sensible choice.

In all seriousness. Conservatives are getting more stupid by the hour.

Did you quit reading right after the word Libertarian?

I know some people struggle with nuance.
I've heard that some people also have challenges with comprehension.

it's no longer possible for me to pay any attention to what they say. The convoluted thinking is exhausting. I hope some day, it will be common place for people to say what they mean, mean what they say, and have a shred common decency while saying it. It's like the whole country needs to be taught manners of basic civility.
