    Lesser-evilism has gotten us to where we find ourselves today: bargaining with genocide. If you don’t stop now, I wonder what it would take.

      We should have stopped when the alternative was McCain or Romney. We can have a chance to stop again when the alternative is similarly more sane than Trump.

        We will never be going back. Lesser-evilism has led to incrementally more evil, not less. Trump and Trumpism are symptoms of the sickness, not the cause. Liberals love Obama, but after eight years of him we got Trump! What has our political leadership --our democracy– done to address the problems that brought about Trump? Obama before, Biden in the interim, yet here we are. Everyone has moved to the right.
