The line of reasoning is that supporting a political candidate of a major political party in a political race for a political office is OK, fine, and normal in the general case. It's a key right that we need to maintain a free society. Supporting this particular candidate of this particular party in this particular race for this particular office is not, because it's different for a host of reasons.
I understand the logic. The thing is, every single office, race, candidate, and election is unique. There will always be some reason why this logic applies. Where do we draw the line? There are only two sane places that don't rest entirely on someone's personal mores - all or none. I'm inclined to lean towards people being "allowed" to make their own choices without being Othered for it.
That's what tolerance is - accepting people who make choices you personally loathe. Real tolerance is often a deeply uncomfortable thing.
