People choose the lesser of the two evils because they are themselves evil and because they are themselves too inept to strategize and coordinate the situation in such a way that delivers positive results. They can only strategize in a way that delivers poor results and in such a way that undermines their own democracy.

You are right. The good Christians are stuck in this world that is ruled by the Prince of Darkness, Satan.

If you look throughout the Gospels in the Bible (first 4 books of the NT), you will see that Jesus tells the people that they can do miracles if they believe in Him. But the people have a difficult time doing these miracles, because this world is ruled by Satan.

Cool

People need to learn about strategic voting so that we can develop a system that prevents strategic voting. For example, if we have a closed primary, purely strategic people will not register for the party that they actually believe in. These purely strategic people may register for the party that they believe that they can improve the most. Or maybe they won't because they will be using another strategy. They may instead be voting for the candidate who has the greatest chance of winning the general election in their preferred party. Or maybe they will be voting for the person in the party they don't like who has the least chance of winning the general election. Political primaries are so rife with strategic voting that there are many strategies that people can use but these strategies cancel each other out.
