I have voted Republican exactly once in any election since 2000. I technically could have voted in 1998, but Kentucky wouldn’t let me vote as a student, and I wasn’t paying attention to my home state.
I voted for the Republican candidate for San Diego City Jail Warden in 2022. I did so because of two reasons. The first was that the previous guy (a Democrat) got fired due to having the largest death toll of any jail or prison in the US, and the Democrats decided to run his Deputy Warden as their candidate. The second reason was that I got my ballot in the mail, so I had a month to look at their history, and the Republican candidate’s worst scandal was that he attempted to cheat on his taxes and got caught. Given the choice of someone with literal blood on their hands vs a tax dodger, I’ll take the tax dodger.
I said all that to say this: I vote blue no matter who, unless the blue candidate has shown they will actively cause more harm than their opponent.
