• Well, I'm against Bush. I'm definitely not pro-Bush. I think he's a maniac and a mad man, and I think he needs to go. As far as Kerry -- you know, I think that it really came down to a choice of the lesser of two evils, and unfortunately Bush won.

• But you don't do it. Because guys like us, Red, we know there's a third choice. An alternative to staying simon-pure or bathing in the filth and the slime. It's the alternative that grown-ups all over the world pick. You balance off your walk through the hog-wallow against what it gains you. You choose the lesser of two evils and try to keep your good intentions in front of you. And I guess you judge how well you're doing by how well you sleep at night... and what your dreams are like.

• I say I'm the only serious comedian in the presidential race. And I'd like to take this opportunity to ask both Romney and Obama to debate me. Because I think that both of those guys - I think that the American people are being given a false choice, because the choice between the lesser of two evils is a false choice.

• I believe that it is preferable sometimes to have one candidate rather another candidate, while you understand that that is not the solution. Sometimes the lesser evil is not so lesser, so you want to ignore that, and you either do not vote or vote for third party as a protest against the party system.

• Choice of evils debates always produce extremism - people choose what they hope is the lesser evil, then call it good and demonize the other choice. It will be a challenge for your generation to synthesize - to move beyond Us versus Them, to We.

• Richard Nixon was not the lesser evil, he was the greater evil, but in his administration the war was finally brought to an end, because he had to deal with the power of the anti-war movement as well as the power of the Vietnamese movement. I will vote, but always with a caution that voting is not crucial, and organizing is the important thing.

• The underlying reason for this is the Europeans' fear that Islamists could gain power. Many still consider authoritarian Arab regimes to be the lesser evil.

• We have become too civilized to grasp the obvious. For the truth is very simple. To survive you often have to fight, and to fight you have to dirty yourself. War is evil, and it is often the lesser evil. Those who take the sword perish by the sword, and those who don't take the sword perish by smelly diseases.

• The answer to the problem of evil does not lie in trying to establish its point of origin, for that is simply not revealed to us. Rather, in the moment of the cross, it becomes clear that evil is utterly subverted for good.... If God can take the greatest of evils and turn them for the greatest of goods, then how much more can he take the lesser evils which litter human history, from individual tragedies to international disasters, and turn them to his good purpose as well.

• Tomemos el caso de las acciones justas; los castigos y castigos justos surgen, en efecto, de un principio bueno, pero son buenos sólo porque no podemos prescindir de ellos -sería mejor que ni los individuos ni los Estados necesitaran nada por el estilo-, pero las acciones que tienen por objeto el honor y la ventaja son absolutamente las mejores. La acción condicional es sólo la elección de un mal menor; mientras que éstas son el fundamento y la creación del bien. Un hombre bueno puede sacar lo mejor incluso de la pobreza y la enfermedad, y de los demás males de la vida.

• As so often happens in politics, what appears to be politically expedient for those in power rarely overlaps with the public interest. The lesser evils of the regime become entrenched, while the greater good is never realized.

• I will step outside the system. Voting for the “lesser evil”-or failing to vote at all-is part of the corporate agenda to crush what is left of our anemic democracy. And those who continue to participate in the vaudeville of a two-party process, who refuse to confront in every way possible the structures of corporate power, assure our mutual destruction.

• Los Estados deben estar atentos para notar cada usurpación material de sus derechos; para denunciarlos cuando ocurran en los términos más perentorios; para protestar contra ellos como agravios a los que nuestra sumisión actual será considerada, no como reconocimientos o precedentes de derechos, sino como una cesión temporal al mal menor, hasta que su acumulación supere a la de la separación.

• It would be a healthy exercise for every politician to look in the mirror every morning and remind himself that he holds office only because, in a two-man race against another mediocrity, a modest majority of those half-informed people who imagined that their votes mattered reckoned that he was the lesser evil. And they weren't too sure about that.

• Entras en las cabinas de votación y puedes clasificar tus opciones. Así que tu primera opción es un perdedor que podría no ganar, ya sabes, que tu opción número dos, que podría ser tu mal menor, tu opción de seguridad, tu voto se reasigna automáticamente de tu primera opción a tu segunda opción si tu primera opción pierde y no hay un ganador mayoritario. Así que esencialmente elimina, dividiéndolo, elimina tener que votar tu miedo en lugar de tus valores.

• Podría decirse que el neoliberalismo marca el camino para este tipo de neoextremismo, este extremismo de derechas al que nos enfrentamos. La única forma de resolver esta crisis, el ascenso de la extrema derecha, es mediante políticas verdaderamente progresistas que aborden esta crisis de seguridad económica. Eso no vendrá del mal menor.

• Creo que sólo lo vamos a conseguir poniéndonos en pie y votando nuestros valores, entendiendo que el mal menor no resuelve el problema. Sólo prolonga el problema y allana el camino al mal mayor. Que las políticas de los Clinton, la desregulación de Wall Street y el TLCAN, crearon la miseria económica que se convierte en territorio muy fértil para demagogos como Donald Trump.
