but why does this even need to be said??? why do people need to even think about this for more than a nanosecond? why do some people even seem to want praise for voting for biden, or someone who isn't bernie?

voting has never, ever been about getting exactly what you want. and i hate to tell you bernie diehards, he's not everything you want either, because he would have done something you wouldn't have liked or agreed with, made some compromise or not made a compromise, or just made mistakes.

it's absolutely nuts that anyone left of right would ever, ever even hesitate about voting for literally any democrat against trump. and if you are hesitating, then consider the very obvious possibility: that you're not making this decision based on politics and logic, but based mainly on how you personally feel about these candidates. and in representative government, that's not really the most efficient strategy.
