    I will never understand the mentality of choosing that hill to die on…

    I think it only makes sense if they’re lying about their beliefs and wanted trump to win.

      I think for some of them it’s an unwillingness to admit/accept the consequences for their actions.

        Theyre not unlike maga voters in that regard and they don’t want to hear it.

        When you wrap up your political decisions in your identity it is CRUSHING to admit you’ve been wrong.

        I imagine they feel so pure not voting or voting third party or whatever and then the reality of that comes crashing in about February 1 or so.

        I could forgive that if they at least don’t make the same mistake twice.

        That might be, but it’s hard to believe many people would not see the result coming ahead of time. It’s just not a believable concept to me that these folks really believed that anything could happen besides trump being more likely to win. The most generous I can be with them is that they didn’t care what would happen.
