    I don’t demand a perfect world

    Why do people feel the knee-jerk need to apologize for what is popular, sensible, evidenced based policy? Nobody is blowing up a plane with a bottle of water. Everyone is at risk of communicable disease, particularly during a high point in the flu season.

    Perfection: Even a token nod to reality-based public policy

    Acceptable Standards: Ever-So-Slightly Less Geriatric Fascists

    This is your brain on Bidenism. Just clinging to the second-worst choice like it’s the last life raft on the ship, only to discover you’ve grabbed the anchor.

      i do in fact demand perfection, since that’s a pretty great way to constantly improve things

      like why the fuck should people settle for improvements to stop at some point? it makes no sense
