Yeah and "vote blue no matter who" is clearly different from that phenomenon.

Right: “I will vote for racists and predators and evil monsters. I don’t give a shit. I just hate taxes (and maybe gay people or other minorities)”

Left: “this one party is weirdly friendly with people who want me dead. I’ll have to vote for the only other party that has a chance to win, which at least doesn’t openly hate me and people like me.”

You, an Enlightened Centrist: “these two positions are literally indistinguishable.”

“Tax code and bodily autonomy are basically the same. As long as we’re talking about someone else’s body. If we talking mask laws and no shirt no service signs, those are clearly the government trying to control my life”

Yes. It is different.

Vote blue so that people WONT lose rights and equality -vs- Vote red so that we CAN TAKE AWAY people's rights and equal standing.

Vote blue so that children can eat at school for free -vs- Vote red so that children can get DNA tests kits to use for identification after they've been brutally, unrecognizably murdered by a weapon of mass destruction.

Vote blue so that we can all have anything nice -vs- Vote red so only rich people have anything nice.
