Open Question Sept 30: Can you vote for someone you don't trust?

Hey y'all,

In Texas this week, one Senate candidate walked out of a press conference when reporters asked about his property and voter fraud allegations. The other was heckled over his theology and his past statements on prison. The polls are tied.

Can you vote for someone you don't trust? Should you?

Thematic variations:

  • What matters more, a candidate's character or their policies? Has your answer changed?
  • What's the line you won't cross, even for your own side?
  • When your candidate is attacked, how do you tell a fair hit from a smear?
  • Which sources do you trust to tell you who a candidate actually is?

Lots of love, and see (some of) you on the site, now.
