You don’t reward bad behavior. Each election that people vote for the lesser evil allows the lesser evil to become more evil. It also allows the greater evil to become more evil. It’s a cycle of slowly moving further and further left. Doing it slowly allows it to become easier and easier to tolerate for many people. Baby steps.
Sure, it would hurt like hell to let the greater evil prevail, but it very well could remove the lesser evil from the next round to be replaced by good. Then we can start moving back to the right.
That’s the simplest way I could explain my perspective. Hopefully it made some sort of sense.

That next round is SIX years away, my FRiend!
