True, an honest to goodness liberal Democrat would be far better, but sometimes we have to settle for the lesser of 2 evils.

In the primary I'll support the best candidate whose name isn't Fetterman. But in the general election, if Fetterman somehow is the nominee again, I'll hold my nose and support him.
