I really wish we had at least 4 viable parties in this country.

Under the current system, you have to pick a core issue (or two) that is most important to you, pick the party that aligns with you on that issue, and turn a blind eye to all of the other ways you disagree with your party on all other issues.

Of course, you know that if you give ground to the other party on a non-core issue, you are also essentially giving ground on your core issue. So you have to fight for all of your party's stances on issues just not to give up ground on your core issue...
