There is no reason to consider one’s political party in local elections, if they are even a part of one, in local elections. Large social and economic issues simply do not matter for small positions such as city council or mayor. If you’re part of a large city such as NYC then sure but the vast majority of us aren’t. By the way, this only applies to the US because of our “wonderful” 2 party system.
That’s your opinion. Don’t become the Bible thumpers of politics. Everybody has a evolution given brain, let them choose
You make it sound like it’s a crime to vote Republican. United States is not a one-party fascist state where you can only vote for the “one true party” Democrats
It’s my opinion that someone who aligns themselves with the party, who’s leader literally tried to start an insurrection, shouldn’t be leading my local community.
They can put an I, a D, or any of the other letters of the alphabet next to their name. But if they stick an R next to their name, then they’re clearly not holding same the values I do.
I’m not going to blindly support any one party, if the person with the D next to their name is no good, then I’m not voting for them either (I typically have to click the “No, please accept my incomplete ballot” check box when I file my ballot). When someone raises a giant red flag telling you who they are, then you don’t need to dig any further into their policy to see what the rest of their platform is.
