Do you even read what you write? Not accepting the lesser evil means voting your conscience always, not compromising with evil. 46% of the electorate in 2016 DID NOT vote. They looked at what the "pragmatic" Democrats offered them (a lying, corrupt and ruthless corporate warmonger who is in bed with Wall St. and bragged openly about her deception of the public in order to acquire power) and said that it wasn't even an ipecac-or-arsenic choice. 
Both major parties were corrupt and toxic, so the voters refused to swallow either of their Krool Aid. Trump at least promised, like Obama, to end our war for empire. Like Obama, he lied, but while Hillary was making speeches promising the world to Wall St. Trump was at least campaigning in Rust-belt states, where desperate workers just wanted someone to speak for them. 
And that's how he won the anachronistic electoral college. Democrats could have abolished that when they had power, but Obama chose to compromise with evil rather than fight it.
