It would be great to make elections based on policies rather than personal beliefs, values, etc. (like voting based on the economy)

I mean, why do you need to know the religion of the president? I, as a Christian, don't care if someone is a Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, etc as long as they have good policies for me and the country as a whole.<br><br>But noooo, people vote based on very personal things. Women often vote based on the gender of the candidate, people often vote based on religious beliefs, etc.<br><br>The US example is great right now. Biden increases inflation by making war with Saudi Arabia, he still gets a ton of votes because he's "not Trump". Trump became president because he was anti-abortion and did not want to allow trans people into the military. <br><br>It would be great if people educated themselves about how voting based on policies is better than voting for personal beliefs, but people don't seem to care.
