they don't yet realize that these kinds of decisions are made by the rest of us all the time. No candidate meets 100% of our needs at any time in any election. We make the best choice based on the available information, and it's all relative.

When your entire political life has only revolved around one guy, it's pretty easy to sit back and complain about the lack of choices. For the rest of us, we've been making those choices for years or decades.

Edit: hard choices, as it were. lol
