    The phrasing was intentional, and symmetrical. The point of the phrase is if you are holding out for the perfect, you’ll fail to even get the good. And if you are holding out for a “good” politician (e.g. refusing to vote because your particular chosen politician isn’t in the race), you’ll fail to keep fascists away from power.
