I didn't say there was no difference, first off. But the differences may mean different things and have very different priorities, to different people. The "Log Cabin," and African-American and Hispanic Republicans are a thing, not a myth. The Walton Family, despite exploiting non-unionized, often minority workers with ruthless abandon to make huge profits while they can barely keep body and soul together, have proudly been Democratic voters and endorsers (and Hillary Clinton sits on the Wal-Mart board of directors). I'm not saying they're both the same - but the differences are not nearly prioritized the same by different voters, even remotely. And, the concept of "holding people accountable for their vote," is a CHILLING pronunciation on the path to dystopian tyranny. The fact is, many voters have too make hard choices, because one party rarely meets all their needs and priorities, and there's only two, because they're thoroughly cheated and screwed by their system, so indeed priorities have to made and hard choices. But, you, and
@Cloud_Strife have arbitrarily decided that one area of policy is HIGHER THAN ALL, and that everyone's priorities must hold that area highest, and that area alone is where they are judged completely as voters' to be held "accountable." Although they are VERY significant issues, such an arbitrary declaration that they must be the HIGHEST standard and judgement for everyone in the country is frankly - if unfortunately - unrealistic.
