where is the line? Is there a line?

Say you have someone who says "I'm a Democrat and will run as one"

This person is anti-choice, anti-civil rights, doesn't support equal pay, and believes their religion should be the law of the land.

Do we say YES! This person has D after their name! YAY!

Or do we apply a "purity" test?

How far away from core values can we step?
