I think many ITT need to hear this: perfect is the enemy of the good.

Hope and strive for perfection, sure! But anyone looking for a candidate that is going to exactly mirror their own own views on policy are as misguided as those who voted for the orange shit stain because he "talks just like me."

That's such a copout though. There is like 3% of the population that won't vote Democrat because they're not super-based anarcho-communists or whatever. There is a far larger percentage of people that won't vote Democrat because they fucking suck at doing half of what they promise, and only promise a quarter of what they should. Perfect is the enemy of good; good should be the enemy of student loans, or for-profit healthcare, or, oh yeah, fucking genocide. I voted for Kamala, I pushed people to vote for Kamala, but holy shit you can't just bury your head in the sand and pretend that everyone who didn't vote for her was just purity testing.
