>Affiliation means nothing, but isn't completely meaningless?

Ok I got a pretty good idea where this is going.

>Republicans are for big government, yet are using the free market and smaller government to their advantage?

And we've arrived.

Affiliation isn't meaningful by itself. Again, we're not electing a sports team. We should be electing for policies. 

As I said before, Democrats cover everyone from actual leftists to people that are moderately conservative. So affiliation is meaningless for Manchin and Sinema.  

@bold, tell that to ICE and border walls that Republicans are pushing, despite local government wishes.

Sony should've stayed silent or been up front about it. Flip flopping is a bad look.

These two reports about Sony were private instances. These were two emails that were sent to employees, that got leaked to the press. They weren't public announcements.

And they didn't really flip flop. They said to respect differences of opinions, and then they matched a donation, which they match pretty much any donation.

Well if you're electing a group of individuals to work together for the American people, they have to act as a team or they're not going to be very effective. If those individuals require a team to win the nomination in the first place, then they need to act as a team as well. So yes, you're basically electing a team, and some basically consider it a sport, though it's not supposed to be. Now how to do it so that's not the case? Nobody seems to have figured that out.

Who makes up Republicans then I wonder?

Texas, having the biggest border concern considering the length of it's border, is taking care of it itself, through smaller non federal big government. Republicans tried to do private funding as well earlier, but so many roadblocks oddly kept popping up. Couldn't have included big government being in the way could it?

If an individual was donating and asked Sony to match it, the individual themselves wouldn't need to be public knowledge, but whatever the company itself did would, especially in this case. You don't give a public statement about taking the middle ground, only to fund one side immediately afterwards.

Are you also saying that nobody at Sony is pro life and against (funding) abortion? If Sony apparently thinks you need to respect everyone's difference of opinion, then they would seemingly be disrespecting the pro life employees.

As I said before, Sony should've kept quiet or been up front about their stance.
