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 share
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.
