i know you’re good at math, so you understand the concept of a single option, yes? A/B.

we’re dealing with a binary choice here, so when you call the better candidate “a runny porridge” you become the clever ally of your own gravediggers.

i understand that maybe there could be a better system etc etc but that world does not exist. we only have THIS world. and in this particular world i’d rather break my fast with runny porridge than with radioactive turds.

i used to have runny porridge for breakfast actually, back in the day. it wasn’t ideal but didn’t kill me.

i am serious. do this experiment in the morning: in one bowl a runny porride. in the other some fresh dog turds with a sprinkle of plutonium. choose breakfast.

in my ideal world there would also be no covid and i’d have fresh eggs daily. in this world however i’m eating dehydrated potato with canned chili for dinner and i’m glad for it because it beats covid ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

you have a good brain and lofty ideas but remember that politics is the art of the possible and the struggle is day in/day out, because nothing was ever built in a day, but a lot of catastrophes happen quickly.

#1 duty here is to prevent catastrophe. the grueling work of building all the rest day in / day out comes after.
