    I think people get too tied up with this idea of the “perfect” candidate

    No candidate was, is, or shall be perfect.

    Every politician that you have the opportunity to vote for will have some aspect of their past or their platform that you (or other voters) will disagree with in some capacity. And I fear that this need for perfection in their candidate is fertile ground for others to manipulate people’s attitudes towards not voting for an imperfect but otherwise good candidate.

      I think this is a strawman, given how much excitement there is for Harris, who is an acceptable compromise candidate.
