I know you’re exaggerating for effect, but it’s not really too far off the truth. How many more people of color (especially African-Americans), recent immigrants (card-carrying or not), women, Muslim-LOOKING, LGBTQ, homeless, etc. will be tortured and/or die if one of the three top Republican picks gets elected? And remember, we’re talking at the very minimum one Supreme Court seat too…a crucial one.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good. When the country starts getting back to modern civilization, a broader range of worthwhile candidates will be a great next step forward. Right now, though, we’re in crisis mode. We need to get out of the burning building first, and only then start thinking about rebuilding.
