The issue won't be mitigated by appeasing the people who are the actual problem. The lesser of two evils belief has been the problem in our thinking. No one can be taken seriously if they really believe that either Clinton or Harris was equally as evil as Trump. Perhaps I could understand that thinking with Clinton, no matter how misplaced, sinceTrump had never served in political office, no one really knew the depraved person he really was. But that's not the case with Harris, given the fact that we endured a Trump presidency and knew what was coming.
You say you want different candidates. Harris and Clinton WERE different from any presidential nominees we have had. They were women. Every president has been a man. Every nominee had been a man before Clinton. Women have had a very different experience in this country and might have just come into the job with a little different perspective than a man. Especially a white man. I know how that sounds, but the reality here must be dealt with if we are going to get to the changes we really need.
