Bannon indicted on 2 counts of contempt of Congress for failing to comply with subpoena from J

Not that it matters, but the democrats lost me today. Guess I’m voting R or blank in 2022 and 2024.

Well, that's a very stupid reason to not vote Democratic.  People should just be able to ignore subpoenas, eh?

I suspect you were never going to vote Democratic anyway.  As such, you ought to be ashamed of yourself for misrepresenting yourself as a swing voter.

I don’t know what gave you the idea I’m pro law and order. I’m anti-institution.

Anyhow I could still vote for Biden if he makes clear that this was the DOJ going rogue.

Regardless, I voted for Kerry and Obama. So I don’t need to “prove” I’m a swing voter.

Rs are so hypocrisy, not only did Trump, call on Hillary to stop the recounts when he won by 50 K votes in Rust belt by Gary Johnson, they demanded documents between both Clintons in Lewinsky and Benghazi

Not every republican cares about Lewinski or Benghazi. I for one only really cared about the Clinton Foundation scandals.

While I like Bannon, I had less of an issue with him being arrested in the wall thing. It looks like he was just on an advisory board in retrospect but at the time he looked like a scammer. I don’t respect the DOJ or Congress on the other hand.

Also, in terms of tipping point state, 2020 was closer than 2016 (0.63% vs 0.77%). People in glass houses…

Honestly, my 2024 vote will be determined based on who has the best positions on my core three issues: trade, immigration, foreign policy. If it’s the democrat, I will vote blue.

Like I said in the other thread, I am a transactionalist. All I care about is results on my pet issues. I don’t believe in red lines otherwise. Maybe it makes me a bad person, but at least I’m an honest person.

I will be putting together a mini-project in the coming weeks. Will look at Dem/GOP nominees (and maybe primaried as time permits - not yet sure how far I will go back) and how they stand on my core three issues. I am interested in learning who I would support historically.

Why is Steve Bannon that important to you?

Two things:

(1) I think he is the preeminent thought leader on the American anti-internationalist right and has moved the GOP away from Reagan and Bush.
(2) I don’t respect the authority of the DOJ. I am anti-institutions. All they do is keep UMC nimby whites content.

The closest I came to abandoning Trump was when he fired Bannon (tied with Cohn saying they’d rejoin TPP before he was canned).

Anyhow I got over it quickly. Read my posts later in the thread. I’ll vote for whoever is better on my top issues. I am a transactionalist, I have no red lines.

How do you square the peg of being a a self described anti-authority person yet like a guy who’s political end goal is turning this country into a dictatorship?

?

I am not anti-authority, I am anti-institutions. The reason I supported Obama and Bernie was because I wanted them to take control of the administrative state. I support Trump because under Bannon's guidance he wanted to replace it. Similarly, I had a lot of issues with Bush-Cheney, but a strong unitary executive was not one of them. I would strengthen the executive branch (as long as we reduce the number of bureaucrats significantly), weaken the Senate, and end judicial review.

You can call me a lot of things, but I'm not a libertarian.
