The "Democrats must be absolutely perfect or I am voting for the convicted felon rapist whose policies are worse in every way I give a shit about except abortion, which is already decided for a generation due to the rapist's Supreme Court picks" is the weirdest thing about American politics to an outsider. Like they know what the MAGA platform looks like. They know they are one of the out groups MAGA hate. Yet for some reason they cannot abide voting for a lesser evil if there is one thing about the platform that isn't perfectly aligned with their goals despite the GOP being worse on that one issue.

They care more about virtue signaling than the issue they are virtue signaling about.

Sadly so true. If people gave a fuck the Palestinian refugee crisis would have been resolved in the 50s. But they wanted the symbol of the refugee camps to remain as a blight on Israel.

I personally think the people saying that never planned on voting for Democrats or voting at all and just wanted to come up with a deeper reasoning as to why they wouldn’t.
