I speculate that we may base on self-identification on a more general question like “How important do I think GH is vis-a-vis AW?” It seems clear to me that a voter who takes the specific voting question (SVQ) seriously will almost always vote to the right of their self-identification because the SVQ factors cost-effectiveness in so much more clearly. It seems unremarkable to me that you (and I) may have experienced ~cognitive dissonance because where we publicly stuck our pin doesn’t line up that well with our own broader self-identification.
