... who would not support her because she wasn't perfect (but what candidate is?) and in the meantime, by not supporting "the best option we have right now" out of pride or anger... we ended up with Trump. --- Same thing applies here! By refusing to support "the best framework we have right now" then things only get worse and it becomes more difficult in the future to guide things and make necessary changes.

Let's do something NOW instead of waiting, wasting time, and having to start from scratch LATER... and when things will be worse and more complicated to deal with.

Hillary knows what she's doing. (It's hard to ignore her haters. They're certainly loud... but I trust Hillary.)

It seems a bit of an obsession to take a Hillary Clinton op-ed in the Financial Times muriel_volestrangler Yesterday #32
