I really don't have anything to add, except that people
who say "lesser of two evils" usually aren't the most
informed on politics and are just going along with the
popular sentiments of culture.
If both options are evil, then it is only because
the observor is determined to see it that way, and
no amount of reasoning is going to persuade them otherwise.
Taken alone, what you've said here is difficult to address. Obviously, I could say the same thing about you; if you don't think both options are evil, it's only by your determination. But the point is: No individual should be in a powerful enough position where their "evil" is formed into policies. If they will be evil, it'll be us they are evil against, and most likely some "outside" population. It goes beyond the encroachment
of "American culture." These are fundamental concerns about power in general. Anarchism is our only fundamental alternative to gambling with such power.
