Fruita Independent will vote âon leftâ until GOP fields civil candidate I used to be a registered independent â a self-proclaimed âmiddle of the roader.â I voted for Biden because I wanted someone civil to represent me as a still-proud American, as opposed to the previous poorly behaved condescending president. Iâm one of those suburban women who is disgusted by our former presidentâs behavior. My vote in 2020 absolutely counts! As do the votes of the other millions of people who voted for Biden. The Republican Party ousted Liz Cheney from her leadership position within the party because of her voice of reason against the perpetuated lie that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump. How can the Republican Party continue to back this lie when our highest courts have verified our election results? Itâs a complete disservice to the American people, further divides us as a nation, and only encourages Trumpâs pathologically egotistical reach for power. The Republicans have now lost my potential swing vote if they continue to back a self-serving power-hungry Trump. Until they can come up with a reasonable and civil candidate, Iâll be on the left.
