    “Not a total disaster” is better than the alternative. Welcome to voting as an adult. There’s no such thing as a perfect candidate. There’s not even really such thing as a great candidate. The absolute best you’ll ever find is “good.” We don’t have that option this year, so you vote for “least bad. ESPECIALLY when the alternative is a narcissist con-man who’s only in it to enrich himself.

      Don’t bother trying to reason with people who don’t lift a finger for anything socially or politically important for 3.5 years then just show up in the final inning for the general election to complain about how they aren’t represented at all and don’t like any candidates. They’re children going “it’s my money and I want it NOW!” with whatever nebulous political outcomes they want.
