Can you at least appreciate that it's less bad to vote for an undesirable candidate who never attacked minorities as being something inferior, something to be afraid of, endorsed by the KKK, than it is for voting for a candidate more or less running his entire campaign on inciting the most primitive instincts humanity has to offer?
I don't see what the point is of sitting here and trying to decide which one is less horrible. As far as I'm concerned, they both suck and neither one represents my values. I'm sure one is worse than the other in some aspects and the other is worse in other aspects. Which one is overall less bad? I don't know. Racism is wrong, but so is killing unborn babies imho.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
