It's funny how we have these "circadian rhythm" concerns with a permanent switch, but it's already in that situation today. Shouldn't we be changing the clocks backward earlier in the fall if that's a big concern? And when we make the change in March we end up waking in darkness again. If anything, what we're doing is letting perfect be in the way of good. The permanent DST move is a good fix for the problem we face. It's not perfect, but it's better than what we have now.
Honestly, I think it's fine to have this opinion. This could have been so easy on the ballot. Pick what you want:

1- DST status quo
2- Full DST
3- No DST

By only offering two of the three options, you get a skewed result.
