Astute viewers at home may have noticed that the Democrats just lost the last election with that strategy. Just because I'll hold my nose and do the necessary thing doesn't mean everyone else will. In fact, they didn't.
The 'necessary thing' is voting for a fascist multi millionaire? He may be slightly better than the current guy, since the bar to pass is so low, but he's very far from an actually valid candidate.
I understand different people have different situations in which the 'necessary thing' may vary. However, he'll only solve a handful of current issues plaguing the USA, if even that. From whefe I'm standing (which arguably is quite far away as I'm a European) you'd achieve much more by protesting. Especially given that there may not be another election in your country. Though I'm also aware protests in the USA may come with serious risk of injury or loss of life.
I guess you could call it "the bare minimum": voting against the worst option.
I don't know where in Europe you are, but fascist populism is on the rise over there too. You might want to get to protesting yourself.
