    Okay - let me be a little more direct. If someone 'supposedly' shares
    your belief but you think they would ruin things, do they really
    share your beliefs?

    In other words, if someone shares your beliefs about transgender,
    that there is only two genders, would you support them? Because
    if you believe that's not positive for the country as a whole,
    then do you really have that belief to begin with?


    That is an easy answer. The fact I agree with somebody does not mean he is apt for a position. I might support his ideas but think he is not a good candidate because he is incompetent.

    Okay - so if two candidates are both competent and capable, would you
    vote for the one that shares your beliefs or not?

    Yeah, if there was such a thing as a competent and capable candidate who shared my ideas, I would endorse him before others.

    In the US, we've got real good at nominating persons who are questionable
    in both categories for at least the last 3 Presidential elections. There
    are many Americans who think it is OK to nominate/elect a real turd so long
    as it pisses the "other side" off, or so long as that turd "checks a box."

    For at least a few, pissing the other side off is the only qualification necessary. For more than that, checking a box is the only, or most
    important, qualification.
