When I think about this, which to be honest I am not comfortable doing as it cuts sharply against my grain, I translate that question into what is the risk to our nation if everything possible is not done to prevent Trump from stealing this election and perhaps permanently damaging our Democracy in the process? And on the other side of the equation, what is the reward to our people of having Biden and Harris leading our way out of the darkness that has descended on us? I usually am a "the ends do not justify the means" guy, but I know that deals of dubious morality get cut in politics repeatedly. It is built into the "sausage making" aspect of getting things done even under normal circumstances. These are not normal circumstances, and I am not reacting to them the way that I normally might have.
