I don't see how the cause of partisanship determines whether it's "real" or "independent" partisanship.
- photonthug 2y agoBecause in reality and by design, we don’t really get to vote on single issues, we vote on several at once, and the way this works is tantamount to coercion. So of course it matters. When you cast a ballot to indicate some interest that you “enjoy strawberries and kicks to the head” you won’t get a lot of good information about strawberries.
