As much as I want them to move, I cannot endorse wanting them to come up short because the alternative is so catastrophic.

It’s not just that Harris is going to do things we hate. It’s that Trump is going to do all those same things and more, and playing electoral chicken with the Democrats is quite literally risking the lives of many of my friends.
