"Both sides are bad" is correct, but perpetuate the notion that you only can vote on the two different parties. There are other parties you can vote on.

"Literally the only way to stay in power", do I need to remind OP that they WON the elections? Democracy goes both ways, your "side" doesn't always win.

Republicans also really love when you vote third party.

A democracy should be about voting for what you believe is the best course of action, and not to meta game the system. The system breaks when people think like this "if I don't vote for the other option my vote doesn't count".

Solution is to abolish first-past-the-post first. Not to ignore mathematics and pretend reality does not exist.
