I'm a one issue voter

[BOSSHOG]

I did my civic duty today. Pleasant experience chatting with the locals. An old friend said she’d bake me some cookies, she’s an awesome baker. I’m 68 and I was close to the youngest in the hall including poll workers.

I’m down to one issue. Not the economy, not the price of gas, not abortion. I look for an (R) next to a candidates name then vote against that person. I also voted against the confusingly worded constitutional amendments that (Rs) were advancing. Can’t vote for members of the crime family who daily spit on my military service while calling themselves patriots. Oath keepers my ancient ass.

1. Same here.

Voting against Republicans is voting for ones issues, anyway, regardless if you have one or dozens.

[Paladin]

2. Same here, as well. (nt)

3. Guess I'm a one issue voter also.

Ds GOOD, Rs BAD

[BOSSHOG]

5. Gosh I can't figure out why

Treasonous bastard Derrick Schmidt didn’t have religious ambassador Sammy the hack brownback campaigning for him. GOP ads in Kansas, the epitome of lies and hate.

16. Believe Collyer endorsed him

Meanwhile Kelly has 2 former R Governors encouraging people to vote for her.
She should easily win.

[Tommy Carcetti]

4. The only issue ultimately at stake:

The health and freedom of democracy.

Following the rule of law and will of the people, versus people having a cult-like devotion to authoritarian figures who aren't bound by the rule of law.

It might seem broad, it might seem over-simplistic, but that's really the one issue that is more at stake than any other lesser issues.

18. Welcome to DU ...

This forum has some of the smartest and definitely the funniest sense of humor I've found.
Enjoy your time.

21. Thank you!

27. Welcome to DU, phoenix75!

I’m that kind of single-issue voter, too.

I have one rule: I don’t vote for a Republican. I can’t vote for a Republican. Because Republicans want to take away MY right to own and govern My body. And even though I’m too old to get pregnant, a woman’s right to choose is an absolute for me.

[phoenix75]

28. Thank you!

I am an old guy, but I totally agree. What a woman decides to do with her own body is no one's business but hers!

[Scottie Mom]

7. Had to be 21 years old when I registered to vote. That was 53 years ago!

Straight Dem ticket every time. I did skip voting for one Dem U.S. rep candidate about 50 years ago because he was a complete asshole, but other than that, each and every time, the Dem got my vote.

[DeeDeeNY]

13. Same here - Democrats only

But I’ve been voting one year less than you.

[SheltieLover]

8. Same here!

🏄‍♀️🏄‍♂️

[housecat]

9. As usual, I voted all Dem, even judges I never heard of

[COL Mustard]

10. WHO YOU CALLING ANCIENT???

I’m with you, Brother Vet, and just a few years younger than you.

[Arkansas Granny]

11. I made my choices the same way. Straight D all the way down the ticket and

a quick look up to see which party supported each issue.

[erronis]

12. Now, if we could have a single issue vote for/against: capitalism, unfettered corporations, Citizens

United, libertarians taking over the SC, Russians taking over the Repuglicon party - that would be perfect.

In the meantime, I agree anti-(R) works.

[rambler_american]

14. Yes!

That is my one issue as well. Maybe if the people with an 'r' after their name behave as civilized people are supposed to AND put forth some good ideas to help the country and its people, then maybe I will give some thought to voting for them. Not before.

[LiberalFighter]

15. I didn't see your complete post and was going to say something similar. My main issue is that.

[Joinfortmill]

17. 👍

[paparush]

19. 56, here, and I'm right there with you, friend.

[Different Drummer]

20. I'm with you on being a one-issue voter.

You and I have the same issue.

[demigoddess]

22. same here, I am with you on that!

[dcmfox]

23. One issue voter here too

Never voting GOP in my life

[IronLionZion]

24. I never expected to vote straight party down the whole ticket

yet here we are. We need Dems in office. It's important.

[NullTuples]

25. That's...how I've voted my entire life. Though along the way I added tie breakers.

bodily autonomy, race, ablism, the usual. There have been Democratic Party candidates who were better than others on those issues.

[TomSlick]

26. Same for me.

At this point, any Republican either wants to end the democratic republic or at least empowers the end of the republic.

I could no more vote for a Republic than I could for an avowed fascist.

[Faux pas]

29. Agree!!!!

[jimlup]

30. I have been that voter for several decades now

Right there with you!
