Pretty sure I didn't say "no idea whatsoever" although it might fit. They know where they stand, they just don't bother to look any deeper than Dem/Repub.
Well, that's ridiculous. "They know where they stand" on political issues but that's not good enough for you?
Because they should look deeper? But they don't? Because you know them all personally? How deep should they look to satisfy your requirements?
If they don't know where the candidates stand, what difference does it make if they know where they stand?
Quit being an argumentative dick, if you can, because I know you know there are millions of people who just say "Who's the Dem?" and vote for them.
You know each party has a platform, right? And most national candidates stake their positions along that platform (with some exceptions, WV Dems for example).
In a general election, knowing where you stand on the issues can point you to a party platform and make the voting decision easy.
Are you a pro-life, low-tax, gun owner? I can't imagine there's a reason for you to dig deep on each national candidate. The Democrat isn't the candidate for you.
Don't give a **** about abortions, can't imagine anyone saying "tax me more" and yep, like my guns. Yet, shockingly, voted for Mr. Clinton twice. As I recall, I thought he had a better plan for the economy. Which has nothing to do with pro-life, low tax or guns.
