Whomever is actually capable of improving American citizens lives. That would require third party intervention with a proper candidate.

If Trump was running as a democrat and Harris as a republican, how would you vote
- Thread starter We Never Know
- Start date
Policies and personalities. The DNC never would have let trump get to where he is like the GOP has.
Harris would never have made it in the GOP with her current stances on issues such as rvw.
What's missing is the story. Background information, and exactly how such a world could operate to get to that point.
Really my question is, what's the purpose of your poll?
We Never Know

Irrelevant in a what if.
Irrelevant in a what if.
Harris is Harris
Trump is Trump
What you know about them is already known.
The purpose of my poll is quite simple.
There are two main runners for president so..
"If Trump was running as a democrat and Harris as a republican, how would you vote"
I am curious if people would stick with their candidate or stick with their party.
But alas its already failed. More posters than votes. Evidently some are afraid to vote for fear of ??? Who knows.
No that's the sign of a poorly created poll. Not poor respondents. Nothing against you. Polls capturing the sort of nuance needed for politics is notoriously difficult.

I disagree.
Trump is Trump
Harris is Harris
In this what if scenario they switched platforms/parties, What to know about them is already known.

The republican platform is trash and Trump is a corrupt, incompetent, treasonous, felonious, adulterous rapist unfit for office, I would have to abstain.
I am a progressive and I would vote for the most progressive candidate. If how ever you hypothetical scenario is intended to ask if I would vote for a progressive candidate even if doing so would give power to a fascist repressive regressive racist party, then no, I would not do that.
I wouldn't vote for Trump no matter what party he ran under or what party I identified with if I identified with one (I don't) *.
He's a criminal, which I knew before the verdicts began rolling in. Now he's a convicted criminal and felon. I wouldn't vote for a felon.
*I said that I don't identify with a party. I identify with an ideology. I'm an agnostic atheist humanist, which is a liberal ideology. I'm not a Democrat. I'm a progressive liberal. When the Democrats are that, I vote for them. If they ran Trump, I would not vote for him.
I like to say it like this: Just because I vote for a Los Angeles Dodger for the All-Star game doesn't make me a Dodger, and voting for one or more Democrats doesn't make me one of them. To me, Democrats are people that have run as Democrats or worked for the Democratic Party. I'm neither. I do nothing for them but vote for their candidates, and since I expatriated fifteen years ago, I don't have much stake in those elections. I don't send them money.
I'm one. None of those options fit me. They all began with "I'm a" Democrat, Republican, or Independent. I don't think in those terms. What I am is a guy that wouldn't vote for a felon, a pathological liar, a grifter, a traitor (insurrectionist, stole and shared state secrets), a stochastic terrorist, a sexual predator, an enemy of the Constitution, or a man stuck in hatred, vengeance and grievances much less all rolled into one.

I would vote for Trump. Not a hard decision.
I don't see that there's any point to it.
No, just a bad one.

OK. So the Democratic Party is headed by a treasonous, self-important business failure felon, who thinks he is God. I.e. - Don "the Con" tRump.
A man too ignorant and demented to raise a finger to help allies in need, and who supports warlords and dictators across the globe. A man clearly willing and chomping at the bit to overthrow USA democracy and establish himself as dictator for life, whether out of villainous hatred of freedom, or his own unthinking greed for money and power?YET! All of the Democratic platform ideals are pushed by this demented old spoiled rich boy?....
--Pro-choice,
--take actions to resolve & reverse climate change,
--improve voting and voting rights,
--secure the southern border and improve immigration services for refugees seeking citizenship;
--return taxation on corporations and the 0.1% elite billionaires to the realistic levels seen in the 50's and 60's
--while decreasing taxes on the working class
--maintain freedom of the internet
--help defend allies against warlord despots
--etc....etc....
Or vote for a (relatively) honest young and capable lawyer who ran for POTUS, but gave up and became VP.
BUT! She is willing to set aside all of her values, and schill for the billionaire-supported, anti-American, anti-reality party of
-- invasive control in everyone's personal lives;
--destroy the planet to fuel the greed of their billionaire masters
--deny almost all science just because they'd prefer a conservative theocracy to replace our government
--increased warfare due to the racism, contempt, and international ignorance of it's members.
--etc...etc...
????????
This IS what the OP is suggesting
Soooooo.....

Yeah. I could never vote for the Insurrectionist due to his treason, even if he came bearing wise and useful Democratic policies.
and I couldn't support the destruction of our nation and planet, by putting another Republican puppet into the WH.
So I'd vote for a reasonable 3rd party.

You must have missed 'other'.
If you aren't a democrat, republican, or independent, I reckon you would fall under 'other'

So. You are admitting it is completely a cult, and **** the policies. Got it!

Aren't both parties technically a cult?
I mean..
-they tell people what they want to hear
-they make empty promises
-they sometimes use fear tactics
-they tell people what is best for them
-they seek control over others
-they seek power over others
-they want your money
-etc etc
All to get people to follow their group.

No. Not true for both parties. Especially over the last 50 years since the arrival of the disastrous R. Reagan.
That is why the Democrats still discuss, debate, and argue even among themselves (like politicians are supposed to do); while the Republicans are tiny but destructive lemmings, marching lock-step together as a cult, and dragging the USA off a cliff.
If you actually look at the statistics over the last century, it is not even a slight problem to identify which party is better for us non-billionaires, and for personal/national/international freedoms, and is more honest in (at least) it's aspirations matching it's attempts;
just as it is obvious which POTUS candidate is a traitorous and demented dollop of pig snot.
Sits back and waits for a righty to think they're "smart" by getting it reversed.

I'll take Republican trash over Democrat sewage.

I'll make this clear. I'll vote against Trump no matter his political affiliation. He could run as a Satanic Party candidate. Guess what? I'm always going to call him out on his **** ****. I'm not anti-Republican. I'm anti-Trump.
There are plenty of Republicans that are not horrible choices, even if I don't always agree with every thing in their party's platform.

No, I didn't read past independent, but still, none of those three covers my choice. I don't identify with any party and being unaffiliated wouldn't cause me to vote third party or not vote. I'd still vote for a non-criminal over a criminal whatever his/her part affiliation was:
I'd take any liberal over any MAGA and any moderate Democrat over any Republican trash/sewage, which is redundant.
Republican trash/sewage is what MAGA means to me - people with no brain or heart. Some conservatives are patriotic and mostly decent people, but not MAGA Republicans. I consider them failed citizens.
No offense intended even though I know my words are offensive to such people, but I'm beyond caring about offending them. If you swing that way, expect disrespect from people who know right from wrong and prefer moral behavior.
