    People are still confused or dismissive whenever I try to explain why I try to vote for character quality over party or policy. sigh

      What’s absolutely wild is that lots of people voted for this guy bc they firmly believed he was the moral high-ground as opposed to those scary devil-loving democrats. It’s mind-boggling…

      character can be faked compared to a voting record though. I get what you mean but there is party in the us where just being in it makes the persons character questionable at best. So over party and policy only applies to me if there of reasonable party or policy. If republicans were like they were with teddy roosevelt or lincoln things would be different.

      I mean you’re right, but also Lieu is a democrat which is already the party that his voters are more likely to vote for.
