    “We can’t elect people who do the things we want, otherwise we won’t be able to elect people who do the things we want.”

    If he gets elected that proves the entire premise wrong.

      We can elect the people we want. We also need to elect some that aren’t perfect. That’s how Democracy works.

      You aim to get some ideal representatives, some less than ideal representatives and maybe some real compromises, and you team up against the literal fucking Nazis.

      That doesn’t mean we have to be the ones to compromise every time. Looking forward to this NYC election.
