Absolutely not. That is just mindless and disnefranchises others who vote for better reasons than mere party affiliation.
I voted for a Republican once (William Weld, MA) and didn't regret it much either as the man he was running against was an idiot. However, I'll vote as Progressive as I can and these days Republicans don't fit the bill, not even locally. An independant local politician that has a chance to win? Sure, but those are few and far between.
Voting Republican has come to mean voting for hate and fear and I can't do that. If that means voting a straight Dem ticket 'cause there are no other viable candidates, then so be it.
