One manifestation of this indiscriminate biliousness is the statement that gets aired every four years: that in presidential elections we are asked to choose the lesser of two evils. Now, this is not an analysis or an insight; it is a cliché, and a very tired one, and it often comes in the same package as the insistence that there is no difference between the candidates. You can reframe it, however, by saying: we get a choice, and not choosing at all can be tantamount in its consequences to choosing the greater of two evils.

I read half of a good article in there, which really comes back to the same tired point of “Stop trying to make yours the least bad option, Left and stand positively for something rather than defining yourself solely against the negatives of the GOP”
