Which in itself is damning for what our leadership and the options present are, "still better than the other one" is all we can manage. That's not great for democracy if all the options trend towards some authoritarian state with varying shades of brutality, democracy works best if it can engage the populace into participating because it could mean gaining something it wants, not to keep the worst option at bay with similarly terrible options.

There's a huge gaping void in the progressive political landscape, we just need to be able to back someone that'll occupy that position but if there's nobody even remotely close to it you might ask why bother at all.
