In a country that values the two party system, it is one or the other until the people decide to reform the entire political voting system.
Turn it around. If a moderate Republican, utterly fed up and disgusted with what Trump turned the party into, votes for a moderate (or even a progressive) Democrat - even just as a protest vote - isn't that 'picking candidate over party'?
I do agree, though, that the US should dump two-party for MMPR or something similar.
