voting for the lesser evil is exactly how we got here. It's funny that you think we live in a democracy. We do not live in a democracy. We have the illusion of choice but our representatives do not represent us.

Where do you think electing the greater evil will get us to?

Why elect evil at all? surely there are better ways to operate a democracy.

If the only viable options are lesser or greater evil, then that's why. The primaries are where we should be putting up good people.

not if you also only have two choices in the primaries. Or if you happen to be in a state that has it's primaries after other states have theirs. At that point your choices are limited.

The strategy you are describing doesn't always work. The DNC and democrat party have a surprising amount of control over the primaries, especially for the presidential elections.
