re: #121 EPR-radar

I take a hard line these days. For example, in a local election it might be possible that I agree more with the GOP candidate than the Democratic party on specific local issues, and the local campaigns don’t touch on national issues. Even so, I would vote for the Democrat in that situation.

You’ve also got to look at what they’re doing at the state and local level with regard to gerrymandering. Your local Republican might have some reasonable ideas for local politics, but unfortunately he (usually a he) will end up enabling some pretty nasty stuff at the state and national level.
