A towering figure in poetry and beyond. However I have a problem with his political strategy of backing the “lesser evil” candidate as that cuts off any path to a more democratic system as described earlier in the talk. How can we ever have more options or more parties to choose from if we’re never justified in voting for them? Look back over the past few decades. When has defeating the worse candidate not been declared an “emergency”??

No disagreement here. I stopped voting lesser evil decades ago, and was disappointed to see him go that route.

To look at skin as the deciding factor is grossly superficial.
