MODERATORS
Yes. Eta: and what I said before.
Let me put it this way. Frederick Douglas wanted to work for an abolition candidate in 1860. Instead, he held his nose and voted for a moderate named Abe Lincoln, who absolutely did not want to free the slaves.
In WW2, monarchists and Communists in Nazi occupied countries put aside their differences because the Nazis were the greater threat.
There was an NYC Mayor who put it best. "If you agree with me 51% of the time, vote for me. If you agree with me 100% of the time, see a psychiatrist."
And build/support third party candidacy on the side.
