I could do it once. When the "lesser evil" decides their whole strategy is being the lesser evil and blackmail me with "if you don't vote us the big evil will come" then I grow tired and issue a big fuck you to the "lesser evil".
So, the worst thing happens but hurray for you because you didn't let yourself feel bad about it?
Hurray because I choose to stir towards the good thing instead of one of the evils. People supporting big evil or small evil should be questioned, not me.
So, you're going to skip over the whole 'worst thing happening' part?
No, but it's not my fault.
Why it have to be responsibility of the people who doesn't want the "lesser evil"?
Why is not responsibility of the people not wanting "the actual good thing"?
"No, but it's not my fault."
Sounds like what millions of Germans said after WW2.
