    Yes…that’s how peer pressure works

      The obvious counterdemonstration would be for me to start calling you names and yelling at you to change your mind.

      I won’t bother with that since it’s fairly clear to me that such tactics would be entirely wasted.

      Am I wrong? Do you actually believe in this tactic enough to claim that it would also work on you? If not, why do you think it works in one case but not the other?

        Because I’m not the typical low information voter.

        Anyone who believes in protest voting is gullible enough to be swayed by peer pressure. That’s how they decided to protest vote. It’s impossible to take an informed look at things and rationally decide to protest vote (except for solidly red or blue areas, and even then it’s dangerous to brag about it).
