The Least Harm
Siena College took a poll, Biden crept up, gaining 4 points: Trump 45%, Biden 44%.
The New York Times went to work interviewing people who were polled: An Independent voter, a hairdresser, said she saw Trump and Biden as ‘just blah,’ added she saw Biden as ‘the lesser of two evils’: “You can recover from bad policies, but you can’t recover from a bad heart. And Donald Trump has a bad heart.”
A second Independent, who voted for Biden in 2020, said this time he saw Trump as “the lesser of the evils,” was voting for Trump.
A third voter, a Democrat, said, “I really don’t like Trump. That’s why I’d vote for Biden. But, other than that, I can’t really think of a good reason to vote for him.”
Putin hammering Ukraine, Iran firing missiles at Israel, Washington mired in corruption, the border wide open, inflation won’t go away – and surrounded by threats voters stare from Trump to Biden asking themselves, Which evil will do us the least harm?
That doesn’t sound too promising.
