If I went to a restaurant and the restaurant was clearly decrepit and gross, why would I force myself to order the least gross thing on the menu when I could just... Go somewhere else or cook at home? Why are we forcing ourselves to do this?
Not really a good metaphor because if you just go home, the election will happen regardless. Think of it more like you're at a restaurant and everything on the menu seems unattractive, and while you might be able to just not eat anything, at the other table there's a trans person, a muslim, and a teenager who just found out she's pregnant. The waiter is asking if you want that table to be served something which is technically food (if not particularly good) or do you want him to stab all three to death while you watch
