Americans have been talking about voting for “the lesser of two evils” for decades. But not every election is actually a choice between evil and evil. In this piece, I look at where that mindset came from, why it became so common in modern politics, and why I think voters have more power than we sometimes admit.

I also give a few examples of candidates, that if they win their primaries, will allow for a choice in November that will not be the lesser of two evils.

Julie Gonzales for U.S. Senate in Colorado Erin Petrey for Congress in Kentucky 6

Leila Staton for Iowa House Dist 54 Jeff Pixley for Congress in Oklahoma 4

Blythe Potter for Indiana Sec State Kelly Thompson for Congress Indiana 3

Victoria Broderick for Congress Tennessee 4

And if I may be so bold, Vic Meyers for Colorado House District 47
