(July 16, 2015 at 2:02 pm)Dystopia Wrote: Conservatives in America seem to be super religious compared to European ones, so it appears natural American atheists wouldn't vote for conservatives. In Europe, there really isn't a problem in an atheist voting conservative provided you agree with the ideas, mostly economic ones. The last guy I voted for local elections was a conservative leaning monarchist - I don't give a shit, he has proven to be the best person for the job.

To be fair, local elections are different here in America too.  I'd have no problem voting for a Republican in a local election, say, for mayor, because 1) they're generally not going to be able to dictate social policy (they're more administrators) and 2) on a small scale, it's more about personality than policy a lot of times.  If I think someone could do a decent job at the county level (generally 40,000 to 250,000 here in Pennsylvania), their nominal party is fairly low on my list of things I care about.  Most viable candidates around here run on (and win) both primary tickets.

Past that, though, when you get into state legislature or bigger, then it becomes a bigger concern, as social policy and legislation eclipse administration and community interaction.  I can not imagine voting for a Republican President/US Congress candidate.  If I absolutely did not think the Democratic primary winner could do at least an acceptable job, I'd write in someone I like.

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.
