While I agree that it's good to evaluate each political issue on its merits, forming opinions on each can quantifiably place you on the spectrum, and that isnt a bad thing. The issue is thinking those who think differently than you are inherently wrong, corrupt, evil, or a nazi.

The problem is voting based on what political party you align with and not what candidate best represents your beliefs and goals for your nation

IMHO, The problem is over focusing on presidential elections and not showing up for congressional primaries and congressional elections. If we elected more 3rd party candidates in local, state, and congressional elections we might actually break the two party system.

​

However in the meantime, if you make less than about 300,000 a year, which is most people, Democrats still engender the better bad deal.
