I think you could make an argument that you're responsible for the "full package" of the politician you vote for. That's why I conceded that it might be fair enough to lump me in with that group.
I also didn't make "accusations", I said that I thought it was bizarre that someone would change their political positions just because someone was mean to them. I stand by that...I think that's a weird thing to do. If Bernie Sanders personally sent me a message saying "Tombert is a real douchebag", I'm not going to suddenly start going to MAGA rallies, because my political opinions aren't about people liking me.
The reply is that they obviously didn’t: they merely prioritize other issues — just as you prioritize other issues ahead of not supporting organized racism towards Asians.
The inference they changed their opinion on those topics, rather than prioritized something else (eg, not being vilified) is a bad faith inference directly contradicted by their post, which explains why they changed their vote explicitly.
If I were to use your logic, then I’d conclude that you are personally racist towards Asians — because you vote for a party that is. But that would both be incorrect and an act of bad faith.
