How should progressives deal with the "best of evils" situation? [View all]

The left are continuously faced with this quandary. The radicalization of the Republican Party plays into the hands of the Powers To Be. As the Republican Party gets crazier the more conservatives switch to the Democratic Party bringing their conservative ideologies with them. The result is a strongly conservative Democratic Party. Therefore, often the choice is between a wacko clown and a conservative (masquerading as a Democrat). What does a progressive do when faced with that choice? Can we survive 8 more years of status-quo with the middle class being decimated?

Some fools are convinced that they continue to be free as long as the get to vote. I dont agree. Russians vote. Besides when the choice is death by cancer or death by a bullet, which do you choose? Which is the best of those evils?
