    Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Bad is the enemy of good, and right-wingers are bad.

      If you always vote for the lesser of two evils, you end up with the worst evil imaginable.

        But we only ever have 2 evils. There is no “other” to choose. The old folks make sure of that during primaries, they vote and they choose people who look like them and are their age, so we always end up with the 2 worst choices.

        Could you explain this?

        If I have a truly evil person, say a Hitler like figure. Then I have a guy who is kind of an idiot. How does voting for the slight idiot end up way worse than a guy who wants to commit genocide. The slight idiot becomes the worst evil imaginable, but how?
