      “When things were better, things were better” is a bad thing to say now?

          They literally were better. They were not perfect. They weren’t even good in a lot of cases. But they were better for these marginalized folks.

          Nobody said perfect. But all of those parties are far worse now than they were, or would have been with Harris.

          Stop letting perfect be the enemy of progress. You’re helping prevent things from improving.
