for policy, particularly Repugs. Ask someone why they would never vote for Biden. You won't hear anything about policy, you'll get a lot of crap about his supposed socialism.. Ask them why they prefer Oz to Fetterman. You won't get anything about policy. In particular, the Oz/Fetterman campaign is utterly policy-free. Hell, I'm voting for Fetterman because he's a pro-choice Dem. I couldn't tell you where he stands on any other issue. Nothing I have against Oz has anything to do with policy, although I probably would if he ever expressed a policy position other than abortion.
