It's called voting on the issues, regardless of party. I vote strictly on the issues, period. You should try it sometime.
If I actually voted, it would be on the issues. Like I keep saying, I adhere to neither party. But I'm willing to bet you're a registered Democrat.
Since I actually vote, unlike you (which I don't believe). I would be stupid not to be a registered Democrat in NYS, particularly if I want to vote in the primaries. NYS operates under a closed primary system, meaning only voters affiliated with a particular party may vote in its primary. The Democratic primary is the most contentious one with the most candidates and thus I want my vote to count. Now the general election thats a different story, I give every candidate a chance. Whoever I feel has the best ideas on the issues I care about, gets my vote. Doesnt matter if their from the Tea party, Communist party, the rent is too damm high party, Democratic, or Republican.
