And shouldn't they? In an election between the two, you surely wouldn't want the more evil one, would you? I wouldn't.
In some ways, yes, I would. More anything gets noticed quicker. People react to it quicker. People should demand change quicker.
Less evil is creeping and sneaky. Less evil puts the knife in your back while hugging you. More evil puts it in your chest while looking right at you.
All less evil does is delay the inevitable and reassure those who desire to be in power that anything is acceptable as long as it's done incrementally.
