Showing Original Post only (View all)Supporting Republican candidates [View all]
First, I am well aware of the TOS.
However I have seen some posts stating that some specific issues are worth supporting Republican if they agree with Democrats on those issues. I vehemently oppose single issue voting but always allow that I may not know all of the answers.
To DU members in general,
Is there one, or more, single issue(s) which warrant supporting a Republican over a typical Democratic candidate.
{To be clear, I am referring to an otherwise average Democratic candidate. Not splitting hairs over a DINO or off the charts left-wing candidate.}

No, having a Republican ally on one issue is outweighed by losses on all other issues | |
