    When a person accepts two confilcing beleifs that’s called doublethink

    Blaming voters is not a viable way to win elections.

      Those beliefs aren’t actually conflicting because the circumstances in which you apply them are different and that matters.

      What IS conflicting is saying you don’t approve of what a democrat says or does as president and then actively working in the benefit of someone you KNOW full well is worse. That’s hypocritical.

      You can acknowledge two things are bad and still make a choice for harm reduction. You’re not suddenly “accepting” that this is now a good thing. You’re making a sacrifice for other things
