There absolutely is lesser evil. And then when the lesser evil is in power, you can choose the lesser evil for the next local and state and primary. Gradual slide to the right is how we got here. A gradual slide to the left is better than continuing that trajectory. A rapid move to the left would be better of course.
Except that your lesser evil never moves to the left. If you allow a small, acceptable amount of evil, the amount of evil that’s acceptable next time is slightly larger. When you compound that over 50 years you have a party that’s gone from the likes of Jimmy Carter to the party that’s saying what genocide in Gaza.
