People sometimes pick a candidate who isn’t like them because of other things they care about. Like if someone loves animals and thinks the environment is important, but they might still vote for someone who doesn’t believe in protecting nature, just because that person has better ideas on the economy or jobs. It’s like choosing your favorite pizza slice even though you don’t like pineapple.
Examples
- A person who loves the environment still votes for a politician who doesn’t care about pollution, just because that person promises better jobs.
