He holds votes over them. That's the whole story.

Say you want to make your spot in the country a better place, but that place is solidly conservative. Your only choice is to jump on the MAGA wagon and do your best to thread the needle between "MAGA" and "best you can do".

Having only two political choices has screwed America into the ground. Let our first President school us:

When Americans voted according to party loyalty, rather than the common interest of the nation, Washington feared it would foster a “spirit of revenge,” and enable the rise of “cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men” who would “usurp for themselves the reins of government; destroying afterward the very engines, which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”
