MODERATORS
I don’t want someone that ‘votes their convictions 100%’ any more than I want a party hardliner. That’s just a different kid of zealot. I want people that lead with their convictions and then vote contextually with a willingness to change, grow, and adapt.
Right, but pretending there's any nuance in a 2 party system where one side is right of center and the other side is full blown proto-fascist is naive. There's no version of history where the Republicans are all of a sudden creating an ecosystem where they support working class policy.
Oh right, the person i described would never be a republican. Likely not a democrat either, but infinitely more likely to be.
