I'm not American, so I can't really say I know what is going on other than whatever obviously biased medias are saying across the world, but looking on from a distance it rather feels like Americans were given a two evils and asked to figure out which was the lessor. Jonathon certainly did put it well.

I don't think either are evil. Being a president requires one to be put in a position where they have to make some of the most difficult and awful decisions in the world. Some will consider them evil no matter what, while others will see a hero. It's a strange choice to be president. Not something I'd wish upon anybody!
I was kind of playing on the expression of the "lesser of two evils". I don't think that is ever really used to say something is particularly evil, just a choice between two things that you're not happy with. "Better the devil you know" comes to mind too, not that I think they are devils either.
It is a strange choice indeed. It makes you wonder what kind of person it takes.
Oh yeah sure soz, though the Americans do seem very much to believe the opponents are genuinely evil... Nazis or Communists lol
It still surprises me how heated Americans get when it comes to political opponents. It's not something I've experienced in either the UK or Australia and I feel like it's unique to the US. 😆
