If this was a government or public institution website you'd be correct. But it's a website specifically for the GOP to garner ideas.

- pyre 16y agoYes, but in the example we're talking about elected officials. It's their duty to represent everyone in their constituency, not just the ones that are members of their political party. I was of the understanding that this thread had branched to discuss communication at the ground level with your elected representative, not a forum to discuss the direction of an entire political party as a whole. The discussion was just framed around each political party providing their elected officials with a way of communication with their constituents. [I could be way off here, though.]
- byrneseyeview 16y agoIt's their duty to represent everyone in their constituency, not just the ones that are members of their political party. I'm not sure that's true. In that case, there would be a moral argument against voting for third parties, since they definitely don't represent the views of a majority of people. And there'd be a moral argument against voting Republican in Manhattan, or Democrat in Utah.
