While I agree with you very much that there will never be a perfect president, I disagree that little will change if a Democrat is elected. There will be profound changes on environmental, health and safety, immigration, climate change, LGBTQ rights, gun control, and other issues. Many if not most of his executive orders will be nullified. And no matter who gets in on the Democratic side, there will be a massive shift away from deliberate divisiveness, lying, and self-serving policies. The White House will function like a White House again, not a roller coaster of temporary appointees who haven't gone through Senate approval.

That used to be a lot more true than it is now.

I think [i]some[/i] look for a perfect candidate or party in any political system.

But such people frankly are totally deluding themselves - if they can't grasp that the sheer [i]point[/i] of politics - and all human interaction really - is compromise (the alternative is just shooting each other when we disagree over the pronunciation of 'scone'), then I don't think they should be voting even...

Regarding Trump, almost anyone is looking perfect-by-comparison right now, if you're on the left. (And tbh from my place on the right too)

Trump is the closest thing the US has had as a perfect president in the history of presidents in this country
