    Seems most people vote their feels or their chosen clan… Whoever they think they get along better with socially.

    It seems few people seriously assess a politicians job qualification or work hisrory.

    Heck, my SO just lets me do the work, but I refused to just let them copy my vote. I write up paragraph summaries for each candidate then a blurb explaining my choice. They can disagree if they want, it’s okay. I don’t look to see how they vote, or ask, but they basically tell me they trust me and just wanna copy me.

    It’s honestly pretty upsetting.

    And I bet one partner in most relationships just does the same, or votes party line, or just generally doesn’t give a hoot but votes anyway.

      in conservative circles, the wife’s vote is often just a second vote for her husband’s choice.
