No.
If you must vote and vote for the "correct" party then you don't have a democracy. Either we exercised our democratic responsibilities this year or we lost our democracy a decade ago and we're just now finding out about it.
Either way, lesser evil voting is not a democratic ideal.
Neither is staying home and not voting at all.
If you can't abstain then you don't have a democracy. (Yes Australia i'm looking at you) You have a system of coerced consent where the political parties wouldn't even know how to change, but that's okay because there's no incentive to change in such a system either.
It's literally the fastest way to get Party AB instead of Party A and Party B.
So in political philosophy ideals are only related to the common definition. This wiki page gives a good use of the philosophical definition in action.
I probably should have used a different word on Lemmy though.
