I agree broadly, I just like to make sure that people don't Nader themselves by accident. The GOP is extremeley good at doing electoral math to gain narrow majorities, it's intensely frustrating watching the left chew itself to pieces over fine distinctions of identity politics that result in nobody we like getting elected.
And I agree with you, our models of other people's voting motivational structure generally suck.
