Well EVERY single election involves the lesser of evils. Every one.
I’m thoroughly enjoying your novel use of LOTE to persuade moderates to vote for a social conservative. The reality is as you point out, that in political contests there is always such a comparison.
However, another reality is that LOTE up to this point has always, and I do mean always, meant that social conservatives have had to sacrifice their principles and vote for a moderate.
So, for this reason it’s noteworthy. You’ve broken new ground, here.
