I don't hate Democrats, I just disagree with them.
I hate Republicans, and will side with Democrats if it can keep Republicans out of power.

The problem in conversations is that there's a serious dissonance stemming from different individuals (forget about groups even) defining "lesser evil" as well as what constitutes "hate" and "condemnation."
The issue in any event is one that people familiar with the space are accustomed to -- leftists are, almost without fail, absolutists unable to conceive of policy because of their conviction in the correctness of their esoteric political philosophies. It's a group where second-order thinking is heresy because it may call into question a talking point which has been adopted as doctrine and which one must be seen as espousing lest they lose their status as a member of the group.
There's a reason that progressives have been so successful around the world, while leftists are stuck posting in insular online communities or preaching to the already converted when in public.
Hear hear idealists crumble when the rubber meets the road. They find it difficult to live in reality without an all or nothing kinda mindset
The whole "lesser evil" term is weird. It's about moving the Overton window.
