Rather than applaud or laud a person stepping up to take their civic responsibility because they finally hear a candidate speaking towards helping the poor and working class in a substantive way you seem to show some kind of negativity.

If the OP is correct than this needs to be encouraged whether or not their choice of candidate matches your own. Welcoming people into the party is a good idea.
