(79,469 posts)If a single-issue voter is supporting the Demmocratic Party, I welcome them. It's not that I think the person you mention is actually a single issue voter, as I have known this individual for a long time, and they are one of our community members that I respect and trust at the highest of levels.
If a person's "single issue" is being opposed to the president and his cult, for example, it would not make any sense -- in my opinion -- to react with saying we do not want them on our side.
Reading through some responses to the comment in question, I am reminded of something from 50+ years ago. Our boxing team was visiting another gym we had traveled to for some sparring. The elderly coach there was talking about a family he knew, that was black. He looked at one of our fighters, and asked if he knew this family? By no coincidence, he was asking the one black fighter on our crew, as if all black people knew each other. My guess is that the author of the said post is unlikely to know every black man who voted for the convicted felon fella.
