Lesser of two evils is just such a way to BS away a decision you probably shouldn't have made. As long as people keep being happy with just choosing the lesser of two evils, how can we ever get a choice that isn't evil?

Because the lesser of two evils is the only one with a shot to win. It's been awhile since the last Whig president. I personally don't like the two party system, but no one else has a shot at winning. It's different at the local, and state level, but to me, voting third party for president is the same as abstaining. Don't get me wrong, in the past I've chosen to abstain because I didn't like either candidate. I didn't like Hillary or Trump. I just disliked one of them less.
