    You really have a serious misperception of the meaning and application of integrity.

    Choosing the best available path that avoids damage to our nation in an election casts no aspersion whatsoever on integrity.

    Since when does the lesser of two evils not damage our nation?

    You also have a failure to understand logic.

    You are confusing correlation with causality.

    It seems logical to me that the couple that I mentioned are not the people of integrity that they THINK they are. I was giving an example to show that integrity is not one's opinion of one's self as stated by candcallen.

    Name one politician that pleased everyone's views all the time. Is there such a thing as not choosing the lesser of two evils as far as voting goes?

    I base my vote on a candidate's record or if they have no record I go by what they say during their campaign. I don't have to agree on everything that they do or say as long as it doesn't cause harm to us.

    I heard it said that voting for the lesser of two evils is like the guy that beat his wife. As a defense in court he told the judge that he should find him innocent because it could have been much worse, he could have killed her.

    Well, put it this way then. The last time I voted for a democrat, because I too voted on a candidates record and not just his party, was Gary Locke for governor of Washington state. I was at odds with the republican candidate, I can't remember who, so I found it too hard to vote for him/her. I really liked many of the things Gary Locke campaigned on and his record wasn't bad in my mind. After Locke won it wasn't bad, but then I saw him leaning more and more to the left and in the end it was a disaster, which has led to the state which is now no longer my home. My heart was in the right place, but I didn't take into account the rest of the states' political pulling. Gary Locke may have had the right intentions, but political pressures lead to his decisions.

    I am thinking "yes".

    I cannot, for the life of me, imagine a person voting for her. But, I have the same problem with Pelosi, Schumer, and a few Republicans, too...
    Oh? Imagine these people voting.

    kbaxter60; baboon,

    According to "Eva", my sister of the heart & who lives in a nearby CD, Ocasio-Cortez won the race because less than 10% of the registered voters in that CD bothered to go to vote. - Eva said that MOST voters wanted neither candidate & therefore "voted with their feet" & "did something else" that day.

    yours, satx

    Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
    Gives me hope that she will be a "one hit wonder" and not win reelection. I am really sick of hearing from her. She does seem to subscribe to the idea that "no attention is bad attention" by saying controversial things and getting lots of time on the news cycle. I will admit it HAS earned her a lot of name recognition.

    kbaxter60,

    I cannot decide if I want AOC defeated or not, inasmuch as she is DAMAGING the DIMocRATS Party with every brainless SPURT of NONSENSE from her BIG mouth. = Maybe we should all send her 10 bucks & tell her to "KEEP ON KEEPIN ON".

    I think much the same. The more the left comes to her defense, the more they destroy there own credibility.

    It is all relative, my friend.

    Reality may bite, but it cannot be denied. At times, one must choose between less damage and more damage. Anyone not mature or experienced enough to know this - well....

    No one ever said life would be fair. Nor that we would get exactly what we want.
