I think we should be sympathetic to that, not view it as insane. These are people with standards, who find it very difficult to accept “not literally eating turds” as their criterion for what to have for dinner. I sympathize with that, and it’s bizarre that some liberals consider this irrational. It reminds me of the contempt expressed for Nader voters after 2000. George W. Bush and the Republican Party subverted democracy <https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2012/06/yes-bush-v-gore-did-steal-the-election.html> and illegitimately installed the candidate who lost <https://theintercept.com/2018/11/10/democrats-should-remember-al-gore-won-florida-in-2000-but-lost-the-presidency-with-a-preemptive-surrender/>, yet liberals seethed at Nader <https://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/31/movies/31nade.html>, a candidate who only ran, and only got votes, because the Democratic Party was so disappointing that progressive voters felt politically homeless. To get angry at the undecided or third party voters, is to miss the far more important fact that *for some reason, large swaths of people in the country do not seem at all interested in the chicken.
