Voting for the lesser of two evils is entirely how representative democracy works. You'll never see a representative who PERFECTLY represents your own views.

Your strawman has no power here.

It's obvious when we're in a race to the bottom versus when we're making actual long-term progress that benefits a majority of voters.
