A determination can always be made about which is better than the other, even if only marginally; neither is good, or what is needed. The act of voting for the lesser of two evils is trivial compared to the overwhelming but important task of destroying these two parties that function to suck the life out of ordinary people as well as the planet. that's nice but in the meantime you should deal with reality as it is instead of where you'd like it to be.
