as long as you can see beyond “well at least they aren’t a republican”, recognize their flaws and hold them accountable for it, then that’s exactly what i’m looking for. blindly following what democrats say for the sole purpose of getting one over on republicans doesn’t do any of us good.
I mean I’ve deep canvassed for Democratic campaigns before, and deep canvassing involves long conversations with people who don’t agree with you on everything, I’ve heard and agreed with critiques of my employer at the time, but then been able to be like “well here’s our opponent’s stance, and I think that’s even worse for reasons x, y, and z” without claiming the guy who I’m running with is PERFECT or beyond reproach.
