I've seen many liberal friends post about how this candidate is Pro-Something and that makes them a bad person that shouldn't be allowed to hold public office, much less even consider running for dog catcher. It's time to take a step back and consider these ideas from a rational standpoint.
Presidents and Vice Presidents don't introduce ANY legislation in Congress. The President submits a budget, he/she can talk a Congressional leader/member into writing and introducing legislation into Congress, but The President cannot. The Vice President cannot.
The Federal Government is responsible for spending OUR money (using some common sense would be nice), regulating commerce between states and defending our borders. They're not Constitutionally responsible for much else. So let's not ask them to do much more than that. Let those things fall back to the states which are more aware of what needs to be done locally.
The State Legislature is where the Pro-Something really matters. These are the people who can pass those laws that are so controversial. The State Level is going to be more responsive and accessible to citizens.
Suspend emotion and vote with reason. Do you like your money going to fund something overseas, or would you rather spend that money yourself? If companies are allowed to keep more of their money, would that not benefit you? That money will be spent somewhere. Who knows more about what's going on locally? Somebody who lives in the community or someone who lives 600 miles away?
Vote on the economy in Federal elections.
Vote on Pro-Something in State elections.
