    Yeah, dual standards are a thing. People won’t choose a mediocrity over a monster because the mediocrity isn’t perfect.

    But there are no perfect candidates.

      Give me a break. There’s a hundred mile wide gap between a perfect candidate and Trump/Biden/Harris/Clinton.

      This was the argument thrown around leading up to the election because it’s designed to shut down criticism and make people fall in line. It failed yet again, so you can stop trying to make it.
