My cousin is running for a county government position and they’re having an event for him. It’s a paid event with dinner included to raise campaign funds.

I have nothing against him personally, but I strongly disagree with his politics. I told my family that I won’t be there.

Now my mom and aunt are pissed off at me, saying I should go as a show of support for him. I disagree because this isn’t me refusing to go to something unrelated to politics, this is an event that directly funds politics that I don’t want to support.

Thoughts? AITAH?
