It's like choosing between the plague and the measles, between fascism and dictatorship . . . .

Although virtually all candidates have soem evil aspects to them, for a few, the good outweighs the evil, so votign for the lesser of two evils does nto always mean that evil always wins. At the ve4ry least it slows evil down.

I keep trying to refine the following for simplicity, and will again, if only for practice. But, those posting such BS are not looking for answers - they’re looking for excuses. No description of ‘why it is the way it is’ will appease them. They want the world to know/ think - they had nothing to do with it … assuming that leaves them free & pure to bitch endlessly about something they’ve not lifted a finger to correct. This looks like Exhibit A, around here.
So, in order to compete with evil - good must at least match it’s tactics. Or, good gets stomped. Evil cheats, lies ..murders… Good is more often the victim than the victor (thus Congress, the presidency and our Supreme Court controlled by evil)
Reminds me of overhearing some blowhard a couple tables away preaching how ‘both parties are the same,’ and not feeling safe to set him straight (and it’s always a Him). Here, I kinda can.. ...and feel I should at least make another attempt 
Folks, they’re not alike. The presidential choice they gave in 2016 could not have been more contrasting. So beware of posts like these. It’s the poster’s attempt to shift responsibility - not the reality of the situation…

I heard the two party system compared to going to a car dealers and being offered a bicycle or a helicopter nothing else.
Why vote for either of the two major parties then ?. there are others.

Actually, the extent of a two party system it what the people are willing to allow. Decades ago, prior to the loss of the US Fairness Doctrine for broadcasting, the difference was far less. Now, with 24/7 propaganda - there’s a chasm.
As mentioned in my own post above.. Equating both parties has become the excuse of those incapable of enhancing either. That’s excuse, not reason.
Recently our party of Regressives (the political arm of the nation’s wealthy industrialists) determined their demographics were fading. Obama’s election terrified them! They implemented a propaganda plan promoting exactly what this post shows - likely from one of their sites.. If they can cultivate complacency and voter apathy - then invigorate their ignorant followers with some god guns or gay issue… they’ll win. It’s worked!
Propaganda such as above is how they do it ...as well as seeking the help of those who’s apathy has festered.. No difference? One president works to protect the environment and our citizens - the one for the opposite party immediately goes about reversing the same. No difference?
Not really valid, however given a choice measles have a vaccine

THHA:
Una revolución es algo así como destruir un viejo edificio para construir uno nuevo, y el nuevo no se construye sobre los cimientos del viejo. Por eso, un proceso revolucionario tiene que destruir para poder construir, una revolución es una lucha a muerte entre el futuro y el pasado.
"A revolution is like destroying an old building to build a new one, and the new is not built on the foundations of the old. Therefore, the process of revolution must destroy in order to build . . . a revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past."
Fidel Castro
@THHA Revolution is a faster way to impose change on society...the slower way is to let the older generation die and the memories of "what used to be" die as well...
Is one easier for people to accept willingly?
Some foundations are pretty strong and it seems counterproductive to rebuild from scratch...

Castro would know better than most people. He did it.
