Sure, both sides are not the same. But the "good" side is still part of the system that allows the "bad" side to exist.
So by all means, vote for the party that will do less damage in the short term. But oppose FPTP voting at the same time.
In Iran, gender reassignment is legal, and they'll even change the birth certificate to match, from what I learned a decade ago.

I like having a keyboard and mouse. Doing things on a smartphone is a last resort.
The plummeting should take care of itself from that point. You might need assistance with the rotation though.
