That's right.

For an awful lot of voters in the US lately they feel that they've been offered only bad choices, so they have to pick the least bad to keep the more bad out of office.

Personally, I see it as an era when ignorant loudmouths are charting the courses of major parties, neither offering good solutions, so the rest of us have to roll our eyes and work with the bad choices they give us.
