But they've voted dem in the past and swear never again. People's ability to rationalize things blows my mind </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635247 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 14:22:48 +0000 daniellemybelle 2635247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I think it comes down to electing leaders who will legislate in such a way that aligns with your desires for the country. But yes, if that were the case (like a Dem Trump &amp; Congress people who were all about him) it would be a pretty hard situation! Thankfully we are not in that position!</p> <p>@MrsSCB: I would hate to be in that position... because I do think that 3rd party candidate votes are pretty much a bad idea all around, but I also have not been in a situation where I just could not stomach voting for either candidate at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635235 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 14:06:28 +0000 Corduroy 2635235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad told me he decided to vote for Hillary this weekend. He can't stand her and is a republican but realized Trump is awful and must be stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635234 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 14:03:50 +0000 MrsSCB 2635234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ajsmommy: Whaaaaaat? To vote for Trump?! That's baffling... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635223 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 13:45:41 +0000 Ajsmommy 2635223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not recently. But I have a few family members who have changed from dem's to vote repub :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635197 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 12:44:46 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2635197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just remember, if you don't vote, you have no right to complain about the outcome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635186 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 12:23:10 +0000 Mrs D 2635186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a handful of conservatives who are voting Johnson...</p> <p>I also know several who are not voting.</p> <p>DH is generally liberal and will not be voting for the president this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635163 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 11:44:14 +0000 MrsSCB 2635163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: Exactly! I think I'd also try to find the best third-party candidate for president. Even though there's basically no way for them to win under our current system, a greater than normal number of people voting for them would still make a statement about general dissatisfaction regarding the candidates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635144 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 11:19:33 +0000 Adira 2635144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: @daniellemybelle: I don't know... if the Democratic nominee was someone like Trump and all the Democratic senators up for reelection supported him/her, I don't think I'd want to vote for them either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635135 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 11:07:43 +0000 nana87 2635135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not recently, but we have a very close friend who is republican and has worked in national politics in the past (he's in the private sector now), including on a past presidential campaign, who has been never-trump since at least the early summer. Not sure if he'll vote Johnson or Clinton though (ETA though on second thought I'd doubt he'd vote Johnson since I know foreign policy is one of his major priorities...!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635134 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 11:07:24 +0000 daniellemybelle 2635134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: Haha! I can understand somewhat not voting for a presidential candidate, if, like, we had the Trump of Democrats in some crazy situation :silly: But I think I would still vote down the ticket which is just as important! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635133 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 11:06:51 +0000 meredithNYC 2635133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually have family members who planned to vote third party (Johnson), but are for Clinton now after viewing the last debate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635132 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 11:05:26 +0000 MrsSCB 2635132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: yeah, I would never not vote, just on principle. I don't feel like I can complain. If I don't vote. And I like complaining ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635131 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 11:05:10 +0000 kiddosc 2635131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a lot of die-hard republicans that just really don't want to vote for Trump. Several have said they won't vote, but I'm also not sure that they will stick to it. They're really conflicted about not voting for Trump and essentially handing HRC the win. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635130 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 11:02:02 +0000 Mama Bird 2635130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my brother has. Not sure about my parents, I haven't had the chance to talk politics with them recently. But if they haven't changed their minds after the latest and greatest, I'm not sure how I'll ever trust them as parents and grandparents of girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635125 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 10:47:21 +0000 daniellemybelle 2635125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I think it is interesting that so many Republicans are not voting at all. I think if I haaaated the Democratic candidate and was "meh" about the Republican one, I would still vote, just not choose a presidential candidate and vote for Democrats in Congress. I think Trump is going to cause the GOP to lose their majority. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635121 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 10:42:39 +0000 Anagram 2635121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know anyone who was a diehard fan of either candidate who recently changed, but I've seen a lot of former "never Hillary" Bernie supporters change their minds and come out for Hillary, and I have a few family members who have always, always voted republican in every previous elections and now say they can't vote for Trump. But none of them have said they would vote for Hillary either, so I'm not sure if they won't vote, if they'll do a write in, or what. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635108 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 10:31:12 +0000 FaithFertility 2635108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me! I never was 100% for either but leaned more twords one, well after a few months and really paying attention my vote has changed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635103 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 10:25:17 +0000 daniellemybelle 2635103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a few people who were on the fence or considering voting for Trump because they are die hard Republicans and could never vote for Hillary. Recently, it seems like they have decided to not vote or to vote third party for the most part. Depending on your state, that could be a de facto vote for Trump unfortunately... but I am at least heartened that not very many people I know personally can bring themselves to vote for him even though he is their party's candidate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635099 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 10:20:33 +0000 yoursilverlining 2635099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not that recently, but I had several (like 6-7) relatives and friends who were old school Republican and have left the party in the past 2 years as things shifted so far right, especially on social issues. They also don't support the huge R spending that took place under Bush. I don't think the Republican party will ever win them back - - they are not enthusiastic Dems either now; but all will vote for HRC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-changed-their-mind#post-2635093 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 10:14:23 +0000 mediagirl 2635093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Finally, finally a very close male relative realized that voting for Trump would be a TERRIBLE decision. He's now voting for Johnson. </p> <p>Has anyone in your life recently (like past 2 months...or maybe past week...) changed their mind on who they are voting for? </p>
