    I have wondered this. Though it’s your most important issue, would you let it become a “single issue” vote? I.e. if it meant going down the Trump route but they promised free dental, would you vote for it?

      I think the point of such an article is to point out that if we want to really protect our democracy against fascism, we have to also be delivering to such justified single issue voters.

          We know from history that people will give up democracy for food and shelter so there’s no point even positing such questions. We know the answer.
