Do I go with the one I hate but know that the path they will take won't lead to a catastrophe
or do I go with the one I hate but might turn out to be decent or might just lead to catastrophe?
Is that a party line decision?
Dan, I know you like to use hyperbole at times, but I am not sure this is your intenti here.
Catastrophe?! What catastrophe? How much power do you really think the POTUS has? And given what you KNOW about Trump, do you really think he is interested in committing suicide?
People are are also saying Brexit is (use your own negative adjective). In reality it's simply the unknown and uncharted. But after all, things will work out somehow or another, and it might (will IMHO) end up better than had the outcome been remain.
I am personally scared of the most influential outcome of this (and any) Presidential election, the SCOTUS nominations. Given past experience, I would definitely choose the unknown (and tell me that you know who Trump might nominate) over the known (who is being pushed even further left than her own agenda).
The bottom line of this election cycle (as well as many things happening all over the world, in totally uncharted territory) for us, is to simply stop putting so much trust in our power, and in our leaders, and realize who is really running the show!
