I think it is irrelevant. I don't have a simplistic, reactionary mentality surrounding our political reality and it's long term effects on our society.
Neither candidate would have made any effective progress towards putting an end to the systems of oppression we currently suffer under. If all you ever do is try to be slightly better than the absolute worst option you lose sight of how far you fall.
A slow decline that will never end is effectively the same as a quick descent if they both end up at the same place eventually.
Besides, real political change will never come from a ballot box. The arguments trying to legitimize the electoralist system are a waste of time to begin with. If you want real harm reduction, organize some community defense initiatives and mutual aid groups.
