Election Choices: Obama or Not?
We’re up against it now. Less than two weeks left. Those on the left confront their quadrennial quandary, and the inescapable debate: to vote for the Democratic presidential nominee or not. “The lesser evil is still evil.” “Don’t make the perfect the enemy of the good.” “The Supreme Court!” ‘Round and ‘round we go. It is a frustrating, enervating ritual, a passionate argument between speakers who are not going to change each other’s minds, but do hope to influence those who overhear. In other words, politics. Inescapable.
