"When a candidate decides to waffle in the middle of our already-conservative political spectrum, that is said candidate’s decision; “vote blue no matter who” Democrats had just better hope the ensuing lost leftist votes are accounted for in the candidate’s cost-benefit analysis. Who knows? Perhaps the Party truly will pick up two moderate Republicans when they say they want to build a different kind of wall or sign bills into law that ban abortion. Either way, I will no longer sit by and allow foreign wars, economic inequality, and horrendous immigration policies to weigh on my conscience because it was the “lesser of two evils.”"
