"Issue alignment" is the thing I hate the most about partisan politics, especially America's polarized two-party system.
Why am I expected/forced to vote in a manner that bundles my views on guns, gender/orientation, race, immigration, education, abortion, jobs, war, taxes, and the economy? I'm "liberal" on some of those issues, "conservative" on others, and centrist on most of them. Ain't no candidates (or even party!) for me to vote for.
