These or rough equivalents...
"People don't understand how politics works." / "You don't understand how politics works."
"What do you want __________ to do?" The fill-in-the-blank is Biden or whoever.
"Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good."
"Do you want Trump to win?" / "This helps Trump." / etc.
I hate this phrase so much. The funniest thing about it is that I've seen it attributed to different people over the years, depending on the libs affiliations/frame of reference. Some says its a Reagan quote, others say its Obama lol
Anyone who says that in earnest should be told to shut the fuck up immediately
I agree, but i don't think most people believe it even when they say it. They just think its a smart sounding way to say a better world isn't possible
You could also just argue with them that Democrats aren't even remotely 'good' anyways.
