Comment on Don't let the terrible be the enemy of the good.

why would you not choose the good option regardless? This makes no sense. I mean if good is not an option and its between bad and terrible I will take bad. Like if I break in the woods and can’t get to a hospital for surgery I rather have an impromtu splint than impromtu amputation.

I didn’t say that I won’t choose the better (not terrible) option.

I don’t get the point then? I mean yeah take the bad option but strive to have a good one on the table or to change the bad option to be less bad at least. By no means take the terrible one though or abstain from the 4 person vote where 2 people are gung ho to amputate.

When the bad option is chosen, people making these options would often claim that the bad option is ‘good enough’ and stop improving, if not improving is more profitable to them.

I don’t know anyone espousing that. I think your reading into things. My main point with elections that if the republicans were gone or virtually gone (so small they can’t even effectively do anything spoiler wise) that third party would certainly become an option and honestly the dems would like break apart before then. It was kinda achievable in short order before but with the supreme court it would now take some time.
