In politics, people commonly refer to supporting the "lesser of two evils." I believe most Democratic nominees are actually good, not merely "lesser evils." Nonetheless, the phrase highlights an important truth. 65/x

To borrow a phrase, your vote isn't a love letter, it's a chess move. Voting for a candidate is sometimes primarily about voting against the other candidate in the race. 66/x

I genuinely believe that the primary purpose of Democratic candidates is to have someone to vote for to prevent Republicans from exercising political power. 67/x
