What is a drawback for a member of Congress voting as a partisan?
love history [14]

Voting as a partisan can be an effective way to mobilize your constituents to keep voting for you, as long as you don't engage even more partisan wings of your party.

Unlike moderates or people who compromise, partisans don't have the ability to draw new members into their coalition, unless new people see their way of thinking.
