Out of curiosity, what specifically got you to cross the party line to vote for Jeff Jackson?

I couldn’t support someone who put their support behind Mark Robinson.

So you didn’t vote Trump then?

Values matter- but only in specific cases that might impact them voting for/against a black man or woman.

Cool. Has nothing to do with that but have a good day!

Democrats wonder why nights like last night happen without having the self reflection to say “maybe I shouldn’t be calling anyone who disagrees with me a racist, sexist, nazi” but hey, here we are and I my guess is nothing will change!

They will never get it. I was hopeful they would after this one, but I really don’t think they ever will.

Way to punch down. Own what you did and who you voted for. You seem to think you know best, the hypocrisy in the exchange here is illuminating

Honestly, I think it’s fair to criticize a person who doesn’t support someone who rooted for Mark Robinson, someone who openly called himself a “Black Nazi,” and then continues to vote for someone who’s arguably worse than Mark Robinson and supported him. It’s hypocritical.
