Summary

This quote highlights a subtle irony in democracy by suggesting that sometimes the choices presented to voters may not be ideal or aligned with their preferences. It implies that in a democratic system, citizens often have to settle for the candidate they dislike the least, rather than truly supporting someone they genuinely like or believe in. This description touches upon the notion that limited options, compromise, and the idea of choosing the lesser of two evils are inherent components of the democratic process.
