People that won't vote for the nominee have questionable judgement

And it undermines their credibility. So when speaking with someone with those views, everything is filtered through a lens of questionable credibility. This applies to the candidates they support and the positions they take.

as evidenced cutting off funds for troops in the field or lash out at him for supporting ethnic cleansing so with that bullshit off the table they have went with Rovian tactics and are flailing about to make him into a warmonger.

I will not vote for a war candidate.

I will not vote for a candidate who associates with war criminals.

I will not vote for a candidate who is owned by Wall Street.

I will not vote for a candidate who will not take immediate action on climate change.

This last one is crucial, since we are at the tipping point and delay has catastrophic consequences to humanity.

I do NOT support a continuation of the Bush-Clinton Dynasty

as would be the case with Clinton, it is more credible to stay home than choose between two shitty candidates. The Clintons and Trump are good friends for a reason. The oligarchs will be represented on both sides of the coin. I will not be flipping that coin.

And that's looking likelier every time a new revelation is made.

It's funny how little loyalty oath loyal Democrats seem to care about the general, as long as they think they can freeze out Bernie. And good luck with having Biden zoom into the convention like deus ex machina. A lot of Democrats can kiss their asses assets good bye if that happens.

She has passed her sell-by date, and she represents a conservative form of "Democratic"politics and governance that should have been left in the 90's.

She's also very polarizing and not very popular personally among the broader population.

It's dumb luck the GOP is nominating Trump. Otherwise.....

Questioning their judgement is just one more proof of the galling arrogance that should be relegated to the same history pages as the rest of the 20th century.
