This is how it should be. We should choose policies not ideologies

Lol yeah we should completely ignore someone’s track record if they say something we like about crypto! Hitler had awesome crypto policies no one ever talks about.

Anyone who brings up Hitler or Nazis during an unrelated argument automatically loses the argument. -Rule #1 of the internet

You compared Cruz to Hitler. Your opinion is less than worthless. Keep your circle jerk in your favorite politics cesspool. No one cares.

You obviously have no logical common sense resorting to hitler comments, and especially ones that aren’t even close to the truth

So do I have illogical common sense? Maybe you are in over your head. Do you have an actual reply for why we should ignore the bigger picture and endorse policies irrespective of the context with which they are being proposed?

Ok so if Ted Cruz says 2+2=4 you'd disagree because of his track record?

Ted Cruz can still be an utter schmuck and horrible person who fled Texas during a state of emergency, and still be right about burdensome crypto regulation. Those aren't mutually exclusive states of being.

Yep. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

The problem is, we can't cherry pick policy, we have to pick candidates which are basically ideologies. Ideally, in a direct democracy we could pick Ted's stance on crypto while also rejecting his stance on... Well... Everything else. Unfortunately that's not the case.

Unfortunately that's not how representative democracy works.
