The ends DO justify the means at this point, or you end up with Trump.

Which do you think is better? Speaking of historical precedent, how has letting perfect be the enemy of the good worked out? Society has been warned against that for what... 300 years? and we still sit around letting perfect and good (or hell, just "better") fight it out again and again while "bad" sneaks up through the middle and trumps both.

I get you entirely. I really can't stand Biden. The Lincoln Project is run by a bunch of people I would roundly consider as "bad." But sometimes the ends really do justify the means. When has letting perfect be the enemy of the good ever worked in humanity's favour?
