I disagree that it’s still voting for evil. If you are faced with a choice of voting to kill 500 people or kill 1000 people, voting to kill 500, given the alternative, is essentially the same as voting to save 500. Evil is not an absolute, there are always gradations.
if you commit to voting for a party no matter what, no matter how bad their candidates are, they have not received the necessary negative feedback. this is how the downward spiral to hyper-polarization and broken politics happened in the first place.

if the only thing a party needs to get your vote is "we're not as bad as the other team" then they will never ever improve. in fact, they will worsen. calibrate their badness to as much as they can get away with. this has actually happened in America.

I don’t want to be misunderstood as advocating for committing to voting for a party no matter what. I personally think straight-ticket voting in particular sends all sorts of the wrong feedback towards a party.
