However, in any election you very rarely if ever get to vote for your ideal candidate.
But the problem is there aren't enough people who believe strongly in their right to keep and bear arms. So the politicians do dare to betray us regarding that right and our other rights.
That's the unfortunate truth of our current reality.
I don't know how to change that reality. I do know that complaining about it does very little by itself. I also no that refusing to make a choice because neither of the choices is desirable is a solution.
We have to do our best to make the best choice.
That may not seem like a good choice when we have to choose between bad choices, but we still need to pick the better of the two. Otherwise we will have our choices made for us by those that are easily swayed by lies and deceit.
