Have you supported a political agenda with which you disagree out of party loyalty?
Some examples:
- You might have identified as a democrat because you appreciate their support for labor unions, better wages and benefits for workers. However now that you are a loyal democrat you're being asked to also support abortion rights, affirmative action or closing military bases; which you are either neutral on or actually oppose.
- You might have identified as a republican because you appreciate their support for traditional family values and their support for embracing of expressions of faith in the public square such as nativity scenes and school prayer. However now that you are a loyal republican you're being asked to support tax cuts for the wealthy, war or Internet service providers having the right to reduce your bandwidth whenever you watch Netflix because it competes with their cable TV division; which you are either neutral on or actually oppose.
Generally, for me, it's the lesser of all evils and avoidance of individuals who are loathsome. As a result, since I always vote, I occasionally support someone or some party that has some positions I don't support. As I paraphrased in another thread, perfect is the enemy of the possible. If you wait for perfect, you'd never vote, and I'm not the type to leave elections up to other people.
Loyalty suggests active support, rather than going along with the party that opposes something you are diametrically opposed to. Hillary Clinton is a good example. I don't want a hawk for a president. But I don't want a warmonger even more. So I'll support her over just about any Republican, especially the religious fanatics who actually want to start WW3 with Islam.
