The only reason some of us voted for Trump in 2016 was Hillary was worse. Same with Romney before him and lord was McCain only just barely better (probably wasn't in reality).
Our "winner takes all system" is really fucking awful in that regard, and it becomes more awful by the year as the division of Left/Right stops being gentlemanly disagreement about details and instead an entire separate reality.
At the end of the day though, we have to make the best decision for the best possible outcome in reality. Not in some ideal utopian world we don't live in where a "principled stance" helps get children raped and mutilated.
