In a two party system, it’s always the lesser of two evils.

Traditionally, both candidates needed to have a healthy amount of centrism to make sure they weren’t more evil/extreme than the other.

However these days it feels like populism is the new centrism. Bernie and AOC are more popular than ever and certainly have embraced populism rather than have centrist policies.

There's nothing special about the number two. All systems are a lesser of evils.

Representative democracy is ultimately an exercise of compromise in order to get anything done.
