Doesn’t matter whether he cares. It’s whether he will be embarrassed or look cowardly for not doing it. At this point he has positioned himself strongly enough that I think he will do it purely to protect his ego. It makes him look like a fool if he doesn’t.

If you think the possibility is zero, then I think you just have political blinders on same as anyone stuck in the left/right game. A very rudimentary look at how he behaves and how much he cares about his image suggests otherwise.

It affects his image basically zero if a tiny group of people feel like he's been disingenuous.

There's a strange cognitive dissonance that happens. Look at his shit-coining.

He can talk to Bitcoiners and because he says, I will do this thing, everybody applauds and supports him.

And on the backside, he's shitcoins. And everybody says, oh well, it can't be helped and excuses him.

The moral of the story is, once they have your vote, it is extremely difficult to say, oh, I made a mistake and speak out loudly against the person that you've already supported.

Like I said, literally everything else is bullshit, continuing to bring it up like it matters means you clearly don’t see the point. Who fucking cares that he’s bad on everything, it ALL is.

Also what does my vote get him that he doesn’t get already, you’ve also made the mistake of thinking I gave anything of consequence. Your last paragraph is directly contradictory to the rest of your position. My vote won’t make any difference to the broader direction of the country or growth of the state.

Which is literally the entire context of my original point.

I don't really get out of its contradictory to anything. I'm not talking about MY vote because I'm not fucking voting for these assholes.

Pretty sure it's *your position that's contradictory by saying that it's worth voting for this one issue, but it actually doesn't matter at all because it's already rigged anyway.

Whereas I'm just observing that socially people have problems not supporting a candidate that they've already voted for.

Which is why they make promises that they have absolutely no intention on carrying through. To get certain demographics on board.

You are literally saying that I’m losing something and “can’t take it back” if I give my vote.

Who cares if it’s meaningless anyway? I don’t care about any of it, it’s pure noise and mountains of lies. But in this case there is a single direct item that could occur, easy to verify, and that he has repeated on many occasions and continues to reinforce. There’s a small chance it could occur.

I literally care about nothing else and bringing any of it up is irrelevant
