Hmmm...
While I'm a registered Democrat living in the Southern US, I have never and- hopefully- will never vote straight-ticket. I vote my conscience, and poll as a centrist. IOW, you will find me supporting liberal, conservative and moderate positions.
I try to look beyond the surface of issues to see deeper, long-range implications- ideally, from more than just my point of view. And I can accept that certain things I feel strongly about- like the death penalty- may not be viewed the same way by rational people, and that the "best way forward" for society as a whole may involve compromise instead of a "win" for one side or another.
