1/ While policy/ideology are fine reasons 2 support/oppose candidates, in POTUS races I find it amazingly ignorant when we lefties play purity police. It's like some actually think if certain folk win, "poof" we get single payer & major wealth taxes. Like the Senate doesn't exist
2/ ...as if normal rules of political compromise no longer apply...the average 8th grader understands reality better. And I say this as someone who supports left policy, but in POTUS races, candidates talking bout things they can't do w/o congress are largely wasting our time...
3/ This is why it's important 4 candidates 2 present broad ethical visions of the country; to stand up for pluralism & multicultural democracy against Trumpism (more so than focus on policy specifics) and to the extent they talk policy, talk about things POTUS can do directly
