Single Issue Voters
In today’s polarized political environment, I’ve been thinking about single issue voters. These are people who feel so passionate about one issue, that they ignore all other stands taken by candidates and only focus on voting for people who support that one issue.
Some of the topics that seem to drive the single focus include abortion, guns and immigration. Clearly, voters can chose any reason to vote for who they choose. Unfortunately, the world is not black and white, and there are many issues that need to be addressed.
What do you think?

I have always ppo-pooed single issue voting and tried to vote for the best candidate who most closely matched more of my stances on important issues. But recently, I seem to be changing - I cannot vote for candidates who are against gun control, no matter any other areas of agreement.

This is a subject that needs a good open discussion in Congress
Yes, but they are all cowards and kow-tow to the gun lobby. Ergo my drift to "one issue" voting.
