If this election were happening in isolation from other trends, it would be simple.
The trouble is that in each election for a long time we have been asked to hold our noses and vote for the lesser evil. This means in practice that as Republican candidates get worse and worse, the lesser evil Democrat gets worse too.
By always giving us a candidate that's 1% less evil than the Republicans, the window moves further right, and we end up with two terrible candidates.
I think it's a trick, to keep us on board without giving us anything we really want or need.
