MODERATORS
It doesn't matter what the political situation is, you should vote for specific candidates, not just blindly vote for your party, whichever one that may be, and then call anyone who doesn't fully support your party evil.
You seem like an idealist, which I have some respect for, but you also have to account for reality. And the reality is, we don't really vote for individual candidates anymore. We vote for one party or the other to have an additional vote. Elected politicians hardly ever vote outside of their party anymore. It's not ideal but it is reality. If you vote for multiple candidates of different political parties, you're just making noise.
And that's a bad systematic problem. But voting based on the candidate should help to slowly fix it. While there is a very clear difference between democrat and republican, there are still differences between candidates of the same party.
If you vote only for the candidates that are closest to the center, then candidates will compete to be closer. But if you just vote for a party, then the candidates have to no incentive to compete.
That presupposes that you want a centralist government in power.
