Like supporting the lesser of two evils.

The only moral option is to not support evil. But alas I need internet to work and I need to work to eat.

People vote for the lesser of two evils all the time. That's why Biden won for instance. You are just being obtuse and selfish in this particular circumstance

Correct but that was not a moral decision. The moral decision there is to abstain or to write in.
But we live in a FPTP voting system which essentially only allows two viable candidates. So someone can choose to make the moral decision (abstain or write in) or the make a non-moral decision that's forced upon them because of a system they did not choose. Sound similar?

You're assuming morality is binary when it is not.

No, I am not. But in this case, I can confidently say supporting evil of any sort (even if it is a lesser evil) is not a moral choice.
Is supporting the lesser of two evils an ethical choice - probs
Is supporting the lesser of two evils a practical choice. - Oh yah.
Is supporting the lesser of two evils a moral choice - supporting evil by definition is not moral.
