Would support removing party affiliation from election ballots?

Question

You'd just have the person's name and perhaps a few bullet points with the issues they support, but no mention of Democrat or Republican (or Libertarian or Green or whatever).

Would you support this?

Answer 1

No. Because their party affiliation tells a lot about the way they will vote on certain issues. Often if an incumbent is running unopposed even if they are say a republican, they might run on all party lines. So you can then vote for that person to represent you as a democrat or an independent or working families or whatever. It makes them aware of who they are (supposed) to be representing regardless of where they stand politically. If only one candidate is running and I don't know who they are, I am probably not voting for them at all if I have no idea what they represent. For example, I am never, under any circumstances voting for someone that wants to dictate what I have to do with my own body but lets people buy guns without a background check. I will never be pro-forced birth that makes a woman use her body as a host for 9 months and then be the kind of person that will do nothing to help that woman and the actual baby she was forced to have. You can't call yourself Godly by protecting the rights of a fetus if you call the mother a welfare queen for trying to get help once that kid actually takes a breath and is a physical person. In the bible you pay a fine for causing a pregnant woman to lose her wanted fetus but you pay with a life for killing an actual child. At what point is it okay to tell a woman she has no right to the free will God gave her but you don't tell a poor person that they need to be hooked up to another human for 9 months while they use their kidney? You wouldn't do that, just like no one should tell a woman she has to use her body and risk her own health and spend her life savings to have a kid she can't afford when you won't even give her affordable healthcare.

Answer 2

No.

Answer 3

That would be interesting. I'd also remove what the candidates stand for. Then the people who pay attention would have more power, and the people who just vote along party lines might have less.

Answer 5

lets just remove parties

Answer 6

No.
