I am so over these people on my side (leaning left) who think they’re being smart when they wont vote for Biden because he’s not far enough left. Or not the candidate they wanted. Or isn’t whatever enough. They think they’re helping. They think they’re being intellectual. They think they’re taking a stand.
But here’s the truth:
No one in America has ever — EVER — voted for their perfect candidate.
Every vote is a compromise. Even the candidates spouse probably disagrees on a few things! Hell, even Biden himself probably doesn’t like A few of his own policies!
You’re not special. Stop pretending you’re in some kind of special category of voter who uniquely knows that Biden isn’t perfect. We all know. We’ve all known it about every candidate we have ever voted for.
