Single Issue

There's a problem with being a single issue voter.

The fuckweasils we elect aren't single issue fuckweasils.

They have a panoply of things they want to vote on and implement that have nothing whatsoever to do with the one issue you voted for (or against) them on.

Harry Ried might be an excellent example.  While he was pro-gun and having someone pro-gun as senate majority leader would be good for gun owners; what about the rest of him?  I really didn't know much about him then, since he's in Nevada not Florida.

Well, it turns out that like all fuckweasils he'll toe the party line and his party is pretty much opposed to most everything that most gun owners support that aren't gun related.

Florida has Bill Nelson.  He's anti-gun.  He's hard-core Democrat.  He's gotten the vote of a lot of conservative woman.  Why?  Single issue.  Abortion.

Why would a conservative woman vote for a liberal over the abortion issue?  Because to them it's not about murdering babies, it's about their right to make their own decision and not be reduced to breeding kine.  Do they agree with any other position?  Nope.  But, "abortion is murder" reads as "bitches WILL breed!"

There are slews of other issues too.  Immigration.  Welfare.  Military spending.  Environmental issues.  Taxes.  Tariffs.

If you pick one, and only one, to vote about you're going to get that fuckweasil's position on everything else too; regardless of that one thing you care a lot about.

The really depressing thing is that once you start looking past your single issue, you start finding there's no candidates who don't have a massive disqualifier in their stance.

I am reminded, again, that the only reason any of this matters is because the government has gotten so much larger than its mandate and sent its tendrils into every aspect of our lives.  If the government wasn't actively involved in, say, the bacteria content of milk; I would not need to consider a fuckweasil's position on the matter.
