  • I vote in a solidly blue state, so for about 20 years before the last election, I voted 3rd party generally as a protest to the platforms of the 2 parties, especially the drug war, mass incarceration, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and climate change.

    Over time I think we’ve made considerable progress on these issues, and though we aren’t 100% where I want to be, I have no problem voting Biden in this and last election to show solidarity against Trump.

    Even though I really disliked Biden last election I still voted against Trump and after seeing what he accomplished in his first term, which is probably more than any Democrat in my lifetime, I have no qualms about voting for him again. Obviously I don’t like his position on Israel, but it’s the same of every D in my lifetime, and when the alternative is a fascist USA which will likely lead to the loss of Europe also to fascism, I have to suck it up.

    But to answer your question, yes I always consider the candidates. I have even registered R before to vote in their primary because I felt it meant more than voting in the D primary.
