  1. That's true to a point, I totally understand where you're coming from. But there is a huge problem in that way of thinking. We're not in a perfect world. The reality is that politics IS a team sport. It will always be, simply due to human nature. Groups of people will always gravitate toward others or "help" others who have a similar view of how our country should be run (or more cynically, who can help them the most). "Political Parties" will always form, even if 100% organically. And because of this, in my opinion why I think your way of thinking is detrimental, any vote "for the other side" is giving the group of people who do not share your feelings power Even if you think one specific candidate one the other side is good for your interests, giving that candidate votes is giving his whole party power. It really does work that way. Political networking on the surface (like a candidate endorsing others in his party, and voting on bills his party members sponsor, etc...) happens all the time, but even more so under the surface. Intern placements, project approvals, money shuffling, fundraising, ... all kinds of things going on beyond just voting for war or not, raise taxes or not, etc... So the idea is to never give the opposing party any power or opportunity to advance itself. Using your example of Bush, yes, he was pretty much a failed President. But what would have happened to our country under President Gore? Probably the same global catastrophes but more wokeness than recently under Biden! And remember, NOT voting for the front runner on your side is giving your vote to the front runner opposing you! Sorry for writing a rambling essay, but I think that if more people understood this and acted accordingly, we'd have better candidates and no one would even be considering AOC for President right now! (I hope she does run, haha, as she should be easy to beat, but hopefully you got my point).
