42. Letting the perfect be the enemy of the good

Sat Dec 5, 2015, 02:52 PM

Dec 2015

Any progressive who believes that Hillary Clinton's ideology isn't "pure" enough to deserve their vote in the general election -- assuming she is the Democratic nominee -- will be casting a de facto vote for the Republican candidate.

Keeping the Republicans from controlling the executive branch and making Supreme Court appointments is the highest priority. That means supporting the Democratic nominee, whomever that will be.

As Bernie Sanders himself has said, Hillary Clinton on her worst day will be a better president than any Republican on their best day.
