Let’s be honest. From what I see, neither “side” can justifiably claim the moral high ground.

I don't like looking at it from two sides. Nor do I care very much about a politicians "moral highground".

I have things in life I want to accomplish, and views about how society should operate. I vote for people who are the closest to my views and who I think I can have a minimum level of trust.

There are few people whose platform match my ideas closely in every respect. I choose people who are closer than others, with no deal breakers.

I think my "deal breakers" are pretty reasonable: like (federally) kissing up to expansionist dictators and encouraging their worst instincts and coddling foreign spies in America is a big one.

I would have thought more Americans would agree with me on that than do 😕
