Here’s a short list of meaningful causes which have been advanced in my lifetime by groups of single issue voters at the local and state levels:
* making gay marriage broadly available
* making concealed carry (and Constitutional carry) broadly available
* removing barriers to housing construction in cities across the land (the Yimby movement)
* making the Idaho stop law applicable to 10 states
* changing the voting method from plurality to approval or IRV in several cities and states
Voting is one of the important ways our government is steered, cynicism in this area is self-defeating. Instead, band with a group of single issue voters who elevate one issue over all others, and vote for whomever aligns with that issue, if their election prospects are threatened, they will support you, as with my favorite quote from a politician: “when I feel the heat, I see the light.”
