Here we have the sanest answer of them all. That is the thing about voting for a ruler. You lose no matter which one you choose.
Consider the words of one of the great wits of the twentieth century:
“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”
― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
You are truly one of the few people who gets the idea of voting for the lesser of evils is still voting for evil. A pity so few do.
