Meanwhile: "Good isn't perfect, so fuck that and fuck you."

Too many people are all too ready to say that improvement isn't enough, it has to be a perfect and complete solution or else what was the point.

Which says they’re either not clear on how this whole “government” thing operates (which, tbf most people aren’t) and/or too young to have had experiences with government much before, and/or deliberately parroting a talking point designed to depress turnout for one of a few reasons.

It’s that last one that seems most in evidence unfortunately. And mostly from people who don't seem to remember 2016 that well.
