Am I allowed to be a “nuanced elitist” and a “values voter”…
Am I allowed to be a “nuanced elitist” and a “values voter” at the same time or is that too incompatible and independent? I asked this because the first is portrayed as pragmatic and the second is portrayed as dichotomous. I have positions that I am pragmatic on and issues I am dichotomous on–and some even cause the others.
As I said in a previous post, the world is too complex for for polictical bedfellows on both sides of the aisle (you want issue A, but you vote for candidate with issue A and B, even though you disagree with issue B), but that’s how you get elected. You build colitions that create a majority of people that then vote for a candidate.
