I'll disagree here. I certainly don't see this as a marker of "best of bad choices" happening (or not). IMO the marker is opinion polls and how many people complain about it. And since election season has just begun, more to come here.

Painting this as a typical election cycle is exactly the problem. One candidate is telling people he is going to prosecute his political enemies (without articulating a legal basis for doing so) and even suggesting executions. But yeah, Joe is much worse.

I think what you are saying is this election cycle is much worse, more important etc. than others. It's not the normal voting for "best of bad choices".
If so, I don't disagree.
Arguably, 2016 was worse than 2024. But both revolve around the same person, so same difference.
