For sure. But the problem is systemic. Having to "vote for the lesser evil" is symptom of a "winner takes all"-election/governance.

Throw in private interests in of the primaries candidate selection, add extensive private ownership of media coverage, and you complete the pretence of "by the people".

Either the US does a redo of the election process, or we'll see if the next fascist coup attempt sticks or not. I suppose learning from history and Hitler's initial failed coup, is a bit too on the nose. But, then again, had it happened in the US today, he wouldn't have been put in jail for treason, and then might not have written Mein Kampf, and perhaps then also not manage to succeed in the second coup?

It's not like we're repeating this storyline play by play. Hitler didn't use the term "fake news" in an effort to undermine the function of the press and critical reporting... Because he spoke German, and they called it "große Lüge" instead.

Oh well... shrug
