Virtue ethicists like to talk about how it makes sense to talk about good people, or good carpenters, or good engineers, but not good thieves. Thieving itself isn't good. I think the same applies to politicians. So, yeah, this election is about picking the least bad option, and every election in the past has been about picking the least bad option, and every election in the future will be about picking the least bad option. This time around it's particularly, and hilariously, easy to see which option is the least bad, but that's neither here nor there.
