> because ethical values are usually based on some political orientation

Are you sure that isn't exactly backwards? Because it definitely should be the other direction in my very strong opinion. One's morals or beliefs on ethics should inform their politics, not the other way around.

One way is based around a person's inner being, the other is molding their being and stances based on a sports team.

one of you is describing the world as it is, and the other the world as you think it ought to be.

I don't agree with that. I don't think people choose their ethics based on their politics, but I do think they compromise them in the name of political tribalism. It's a mistake to ascribe the personal ethics of a specific party member to the ethics of the party platform, particularly when there is limited choice of parties.

It's how I vote and how I encourage everyone to vote.
