The point is that they are not as idealistically neutral as the poster was claiming.

Yes that’s true. I’ts a given they are partisan or they wouldn’t have been made Electors in the first place. That is one of things that has made me uneasy about the perception that their vote is automatic when we know there some pretty deep dislike for Trump within the GOP Establishment and most of the Electors are tied to that establishment. Give them a good enough reason/excuse could they go with someone else or abstain? Well that is the question isn’t it?

“The point is that they are not as idealistically neutral as the poster was claiming.”

Did you not read his post?

The only people even saying anything are DEMOCRATS, whom were never going to vote for Trump, making a bunch of noise in order to start a narrative to fruitlessly “convince” GOP electors to “switch”.

That is why all of the headlines kept emphasizing electors as just some generic thing, and not their true nature as hand-picked partisans assigned to vote as they are told.

It was seen as nothing but a desperate ploy from day one.
