        Can’t elaborate on the value of something we’ve never tried

            Sure but they’ve lost most of those races to the greater evil, so we can’t say how it would have worked out voting for the lesser every time.

              The argument of the “lesser” evil is we have to go with it, otherwise the greater evil wins.
              You, quite correctly, just pointed out that that argument does not hold water. The democrats lose all the time, yet insist they must behave as they do, lest they lose. They pretty clearly could choose to do something else, they dont want to.

              Damn, sure sounds like lesser evilism didn’t work very well then
