Parent poster said to stop voting for bad candidates. I said you would be mocked/judged/told off for doing so. And here we are.

Well you should mostly do that in the primaries, when you are down to two, pick the least evil one.

What I said is factually true, neither mocking, judging nor telling you off. If you believe saying something like, don't look at the sun or you'll hurt your eyes (and then you look at the sun and say that your eyes are burnt) is telling you off, then we have different definitions of the phrase.
