Go ahead and make your list by whatever metric you want. Use the Primary as your platform. But don’t be one of those people who disengages if someone who doesn’t meet your standards gets nominated.
If those other folks are too pro-Israel for you in the Primary, that’s fine. But if it goes to the General, and it’s Newsom or Shapiro or Ossoff vs. Some MAGA loser, don’t use it as an excuse to sit out. Because if a bunch of people who found excuses to not vote for Harris has shown up instead in the right zip codes, and Harris was President right now, everyone would be much better off, including the folks in Gaza.
Sometimes, there are just no good choices, but not choosing is worse.
