This is precisely what is wrong with political discourse today.
"Either vote for things you've always been opposed to or you're complicit in other things you've always been opposed to, and also fuck you."
Nope. If I'm the last man on Earth who votes with his principles in mind, then I'll embrace the nuclear fire with a clear conscience. I won't apologize for it either.
I had this exact debate with someone yesterday. All the talking points on both sides were identical.
The sad thing is the "just do what I think is right or fuck you" attitude actually pushes independents farther away.
The all or nothing attitude is why D lost on 2016 and probably why they'll lose in 2020. It's really unfortunate, because the party isn't what I voted for in four presidential elections of yesteryear.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
