      Better for who? The homeless? The poor? The non white? The queer? The women? Oh yeah things were better for everyone and that sets the standard of bad now.

        Nobody said perfect. But all of those parties are far worse now than they were, or would have been with Harris.

        Stop letting perfect be the enemy of progress. You’re helping prevent things from improving.

        They literally were better. They were not perfect. They weren’t even good in a lot of cases. But they were better for these marginalized folks.
