There is no alternative for compromises, since the no other party will ever get power, this turnes everything black and white, you don’t need to think you just need to pick one side once and keep going.
Then it even easier to pick the racist side since the “non racist” side will make your world more complicated and annoying, with the racist side you know exactly who the enemy is, with the other side you need to think and even realize that sometimes you yourself is the enemy.
