There was a pro-life feminist organization that in the '90s bemoaned what they termed the "evil of two lessors" voters face in most elections, from their perspective. As true now as ever, on a whole host of issues. And just in general terms of basic competence.
What's interesting is that it was, in many cases, the same tens of thousands of swing voters who put Bill Clinton and then George Bush II into the White House. More recent polls show that many of those Bush voters later crossed over to vote for Obama - and, again, tens of thousands of Obama voters later voted for Trump in '16 - but not in '20.
So, your point is well made.
And while I can't find an original citation, Church is widely quoted as saying (or perhaps writing), "A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject."
