Also kicks weren't on when he FIRST hardclaimed Santa and you had the chance to unvote and vote confirmed mafia who town believed to be confirmed as well

He was blue, yes, but he was uncc'd santa which means that you had no reason to be voting him. He also softed pretty hard, by saying santa gunned dead confidently? So you had no reason to push the way you did if you were seeing whether he was santa or not (which is a town role) .. also if he was hiding his gun, why would he swear that santa gunned dead, knowing santa would speak up as a result of his confidence? EVEN THE REAL SANTA SAID HE THOUGHT SHRUB WAS SANTA lmao also you had a cc and FORCED it onto confirmed town, who was softing santa, rather than confirmed mafia..and if you mislynch you lose. So that goes past "suboptimal" and more into possibly grudgelynching and flat out GTing
