No, it isn't. It doesn't matter their reasons for doing it. Either they vote Republican again in the future or they don't. It's bad for us if they do. The only thing we get out of telling them they aren't allowed to change is a feeling of superiority. I don't know about you, but I'd rather create change than get revenge.
I don't care about why they change their votes. We just want them to change. They (the voters) support the working class and poor mostly. We can use that to get them to change. We can use their feeling of being lied to. We can use their hatred for the rich. It doesn't matter. Getting them to change their voting habit matters. Telling them they're bad doesn't.
