Neither party values freedom or privacy. Who can I vote for who even pretends? I'm gay and largely agree with leftist ideals, but completely disagree with modern tactics by both parties. But the left controls technology, and so I criticize them more because there's more at stake.
So I'm an identitarian for criticizing Silicon Valley for constantly engaging in that kind of discourse? Are you identitarian for assuming I am one?
I criticize Silicon Valley because they are worthy of criticism. You say they aren't?
- excannuck 6y agoYou don't vote for a party, you vote for an individual. Unless a party has some overarching values that you care about (say you have a strong opinion about abortion either way, and your local candidate is trustworthy on that issue). Instead you focus on individual candidates. Nationally (if you're in the USA), guys like Rand Paul, or Ron Wyden have worked across the aisle on these issues. You have to look at individual cases with care, even when they vote the same. Justin Amarsh appears to follow his conscience and voted against Trump in the impeachment and I respect him for his coherency. Romney also voted against Trump, but that was pure opportunism and the old very neo-connish GOP trying to wrestle control back from the "pacifist" wing of the GOP. But what if both your candidates suck? Well, politics is local. Make sure you pay attention to the primary and refuse to back a neo-con/lib, be they Pelosi, Romney or whatever.
