I'll vote for anyone who isn't Trump, hasn't sworn fealty to Trump, and isn't likely to kowtow to Trump or his acolytes and their agenda. That basically means a Democrat, but it also means writing in my neigbor's cat if that is the alternative to a Trumpist candidate.

There are "establishment" Republicans I still respect and might vote for under normal circumstances, but not in today's political environment.

That said, I disagree with a ton of things with the Democratic party and liberals/progressives in general too, but at this point, purging Trumpism is what I see as most important.

Yes, I understand there are broader issues that fueled the rise in Trumpism in the first place, and agree they need to be handled and heard.

People will make fun of you for being unsophisticated, but it really is this simple.

I don't live in the US, so I don't 'interfere'. I do monitor/watch US tv/media online (i.e. Tucker Carlson AND Stephen Colbert AND SNL AND others..)(yeah I know..)

I also listen to podcasts, and very recently Lex Fridman had Mark Cuban on (I've binged at least 10y worth of Shark Tank in the past). There was one thing that Mark Cuban said that it hit me. "Trump never admits being wrong" (or something to that effect). And since he's a human (with 3 marriages, a porn-star affair/whatever-that-was while married, everyone near him quits or goes to prison, etc. It hit me! "He never admits being wrong". I then thought my early years in life, where all the bad stuff happening to me were always 'someone else's fault - never mine'. And then I grew up (?!) and I know and admit when I drop the ball, apologise, make things good, learn & grow and move on.

But "never does anything wrong" and "always the fault of other people" are two huge red flags. I do invest in US stocks and ETFs, so whoever you (folks in the USA) vote for, please make sure the economy goes strong :)
