That "different priorities" stuff is for the purpose of dividing us, and distracting us from where people actually stand. It is also a convenient tool for suppressing discussions.

The idea that some people are demanding a "perfect" candidate is false. It prevents anyone from saying anything, because if they do they can be accused of demanding perfection. No one is.

Preemptively planting the idea in people's minds that any future hypothetical remarks about a candidate, remarks that you disagree with, as stemming from a demand for perfection is unfair and not very straightforward.

People will have opinions. There is nothing wrong with that. They should be able to express them, and the readers of those oppinions do not need your interpretation of them, or the motives or mind set of the poster. As though opinions are expressed, you can debate them with people at that time.
