being used currently, e.g., to promote Jill Stein over any Democratic candidate.

“…the Republicans would encourage a narrative in the country & in the social media that goes like this: “The lesser of two evils is still evil.” Which has it that all evil things are equally bad.”

“Say, you had to decide btwn 1 person on a hill being bombed out of existence vs 100 people on a nearby hill getting killed. This thinking on lesser evils being evil would have it that both instances—100 dead versus 1 death—are equally evil.”
