I mean. I could be persuaded to be a republican if it could be proven to me that it was the sounder choice. Haven't seen anything that comes near it, especially after having seen how Trickledown economy and a freemarket philosophy that can only described as cancerous work.
Besides, I come from a country with 50% taxes, strict restrictions on the market and a big goverment that supplies healthcare, education (and student salary) and a social safty net, and we are doing very well. Can get more un-republican thatn that.
