We don't live in a perfect world. Someone is going to be president for the next 4 years, and at this stage of the game we have 2 distinct choices.
Also, what you called half-assed someone else might call the democracy process. Just because YOU want something doesn't mean I want the same thing. Your vision for how to solve Palestine or Ukraine or improve wealth equality might be vastly different from mine. Just because you don't get exactly what you want doesn't mean the system is useless or not worth participating in. If you were to get exactly what you want, then I'd be getting walked over. If I get exactly what I want, then you'd say you are not being heard.
The only fair system is to elect a big-tent party and then work through dialog on trying to reach either consensus or fair compromise on the various topics. But we won't have that option if we let the fascists get control and do their Project 2025 thing while ignoring us.
