But the smaller percent, the "no"s? They're very different, and they're not new. In every election people like this claim to hold liberal values but vote against the liberal Democratic Party, making up whatever excuses they need to justify it in their own minds.

Take them seriously enough to believe they mean it and move on, because they do.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
