It's simply not worth what it will cost us in votes. This will be an important election. Not 1932-level important or 1860-level important in which democracy itself hangs in the balance. I'm a minority in this board, but the Republic will survive the BFEE. But certainly it's at least 1980-level important in which a bad decision will lead to a lot of people becoming unnecessarily dead.
