Seems most people vote their feels or their chosen clan... Whoever they think they get along better with socially. It seems few people seriously assess a politicians job qualification or work hisrory. Heck, my SO just lets me do the work, but I refused to just let them copy my vote. I write up paragraph summaries for each candidate then a blurb explaining my choice. They can disagree if they want, it's okay. I don't look to see how they vote, or ask, but they basically tell me they trust me and just wanna copy me. It's honestly pretty upsetting. And I bet one partner in most relationships just does the same, or votes party line, or just generally doesn't give a hoot but votes anyway.
