I kind of agree that one shouldn't have to take the intentions and beliefs of their fellow voters into account when voting and should have to wear the beliefs of others, but......

One would hope that an educated voter absolutely would take this into account when studying candidates as they now have a part in everything that candidate does while representing his voting base, which is what Trump is doing now.

Problem is, it's harder to hold people to account for voting in the US because their country is a fake democracy. If a Canadian says he had to vote for one candidate over the other you know they're being intellectually dishonest and are likely partisan and had their mind made up.

When an American says it, they're probably telling the truth. Just the nature of their politics.
