Yup. Kinda like how if we focus on genocide, which let me be clear I think is a perfectly reasonable issue to be a single issue voter over, we're accused of being a single issue voter. But if we list other things too just to get the point across then we're entitled children who are just angry we didn't get everything we wanted.
Fantastic stuff indeed.
If the single issue is something as monumental as genocide, or climate change then I don't think the accusation of being a single issue voter is one that needs any defense. Yes, I'm voting on this single issue, because it's that important to me. It's not parking tickets, immigration quotas or marginal welfare claims, it's THE FUCKING FUTURE OF THE HUMAN RACE.
It's not idealistic or naive in any way to be insistent on topics like these. The opposite is true: it's jaded and cynical to treat them as merely political.
