I just try to be respectful of people's opinions, even if I disagree, unless they're being outright dangerous. I disagree with the right on just about everything, but I can disagree with Biden or The Squad as well.

I don't believe politics is winning, I believe it's compromise between many conflicting interests. Someone is many times going to come up short or take an outright loss, or be forced to falter on their ideology, but the goal is for the society our politicians represent to end up net positive.

We're often stuck with bad choices, but many times it's hard to find what the good choice would actually be. I just try to use my collected wisdom of my years to try and be the least worst person I can be, and try to influence by my example to whoever can see the virtue in that.

No one person other than myself will embody my ideals anyway, so having to vote for less than stellar candidates is one of the compromises I realize I have to do.
