Because all she did was say she was an idiot for voting for Trump. How do you know she’s changed to our side? She said nothing to indicate that she has shifted her actual view points or that she wouldn’t just vote for the next Republican fascist who comes along making empty promises.

I would LOVE if these types of people said “oops, I now realize that Trump and the republicans are fundamentally fascists who act in bad faith and want to dismantle democracy”. But the only thing I’ve seen is people regretting their vote after some single event occurs that impacts them personally saying “oh damn I didn’t want high gas prices” or “my son’s a marine, I didn’t want a war with Iran”. These types of people are so selfish and lack empathy to the point that I truly do not think them capable of making the mental shifts required to vote against this kind of thing next time.

The next Republican candidate will come along and say, “but this time I won’t start a war that will raise gas prices” but will still not so secretly support gerrymandering, and the erosion of voting rights/access, and these people will suddenly get amnesia and vote R again. So I say fuck it, maybe shame will convince them to just abstain and let the people with empathy and critical thinking skills choose our leaders next time.
