Election season is in full swing as November is right around the corner. Voters have never been this polarized in America’s history. The upcoming election brings me to the old adage with a twist, “the lesser of two evils is still evil.” The phrase "the lesser of two evils" has become a common refrain in modern politics,. Debates about the nature of compromise and its impact on democratic governance could be viewed as necessary pragmatism. Othersargue it leads to a gradual erosion of ethical standards and public trust in political institutions.
