I think America would have a much healthier political landscape if people voted for party and policy over individuals, and I think being a single-issue voter is unwise and short-sighted

But equally, "no matter who" is the sort of absolutist nonsense that drives the republican party, so I don't like that

I did this last election. Went to a couple different sites that compiled each candidates list of bullshit, and every single republican running in Illinois at the time had at least SOME "questions" regarding the 2020 election. Every. Single. One. That isn't even touching on the rest of their dog shit. Why should I waste hours going and doing research on a republican when I know for 100% fact at this given moment, they will be unquestionably worse than any democrat politician.

It's not about just Trump either, and what is problem we are facing right now. Having all these other bad right wingers in office for years got us to the point we're at. Donnie didn't overturn Roe, the republicans worked toward it for decades and people didn't keep voting out the cancer of the republican party because they just sat back and went "welp, I voted once, what more do you want from me!"
