Republicans - if you want to get my vote
I used to consider myself moderate republican, but have voted for VERY FEW GOP candidates since the Tea Party years. If you want my vote:
1) STFU about the 2020 election. Trump lost. PERIOD. If you disagree, then I will not vote for you. Not only that, but I consider you ineligible to even be on the ballot.
2) If you want to ban abortions prior to 15 weeks, I will not vote for you. And if you do make such a ban, it needs to allow for medical issues with the mother, fetus, and rape/incest. Personally, I think a post 15 week ban is not necessary, but if that makes you feel better, fine.
3) I don't mind complaining about border issues, but I do mind blaming all of society's problems on the border. Don't blame Mexico or border issues for fentanyl problems. Please don't think that a wall will solve the problem. Admit the issue is complicated.
4) I feel neither top-down or bottom-up economic policies work. But if you feel that the only way to stimulate the economy is a bunch of tax cuts at the top, I won't be on board.
5) Admit that some social programs are good for the country and society and that all democrats are not "socialists" or "communists". You don't want democrats assuming you are all "fascists", do you?
6) Stay the F out of people's personal lives. Those really should not be on the ballot because whether two dudes decide to marry in no way affects me.
7) I'm okay with guns and the 2nd amendment so long as you admit the mass shootings are a big problem. If you want to blame "mental health" then do something about mental health! Don't just blame it on something and walk away. Banning certain weapons may not solve the problem, but at least Democrats are proposing a solution here.
