Its a lesser evil.
Seems more like a greater evil - the Left is relentless and the "Right" seems to tire quickly and stop fighting. The Right also nods its head and says, I see" when others tell it that fighting an inch at a time is stupid and will result in eventual loss, and besides, it won't make any difference anyway - it keeps waiting for it's own personal messiah of a candidate to "fix everything at once" - once that candidate shows up, many will be saying, "It won't make any difference anyway and besides, the guy has a hangnail".
