>you wouldn't expect if voters are acting rationally

Here we go again. The "You aren't rational" or "You should vote for my cause if you know what is good for you"

This does not work, it never will. I don't get why people think this is a good way to get people to see your viewpoint.



I’m not trying to convince anyone. I am happy to engage in a discussion if you are interested in anything beyond platitudes about what will and will not “work”.


I'm rejecting your claim that voters didn't act rationally relative to any other human.

No human is 100% rational, doesn't matter if you are Progressive or Conservative, you don't get to claim to be rational and others not (relatively speaking).

Okay

> you don't get to claim to be rational and others not (relatively speaking).

Agreed. However, if someone presents a rubric to explain her actions, any person can assess that rubric and the actions for congruence. This is what I am doing.
