That’s different than mocking or lacking respect someone for a specific choice.

Well... yeah. I'm analogizing not voting D, in this instance, to being a flat earther.

For all we know, someone who doesn’t vote would have voted for Trump if they had to choose between the two. Isn’t not voting the better choice in that circumstance, all things considered?

I think that just as you say "let's be honest" about this thread, we can be honest that the people who say "I don't like either party, I'm not voting", are almost exclusively people who would normally vote Republican, but don't want the well-deserved-at-this-point social stain of being lumped in with Trump voters, or can't stomach pulling that lever in terms of their own self-respect. And at that point, isn't the obvious response, "look, you obviously see what we see when we look at Trump; FFS just do the right thing and get rid of the guy, and go back to voting for whoever the new incarnation of Mike Pence is or whatever".
And all of that aside, I still don't see why these people shouldn't be mocked. They deserve it. Watch that Buttigieg video where he's talking to "undecided voters" and try to tell me with a straight face that those people aren't begging for mockery.
