Probably one of the two who aren't using fascist rhetoric. You don't have to vote for them, but at least be honest with yourself. Just admit you're comfortable with someone who uses fascist rhetoric and tactics because the other two options are worse in your eyes.

In 4 or 8 years these parties will be gone because their empty promises will be exposed . Rinse and repeat with a left leaning party (in most cases this is the cycle we are in ) who will then also be hated

A lot of damage can be done in 4 to 8 years. Fascists also seek to consolidate power and remove dissent. If PP obtains power through the use of fascist tactics, why wouldn't he continue to use them to retain power? He's already alluded to using the NWC to overrule judicial decisions he doesn't like.
We've seen on the provincial level how easy it is for far-right actors and theocrats to capture the UCP. If the leader of the CPC is already courting these actors, why couldn't they capture the party at the federal level?
Your argument seems to be "Give the guy using fascist rhetoric a chance. It might not be THAT bad." My argument is why risk it? Everyone thought that the U.S. had enough checks in place to stop Trump, and yet here we are on the precipice of having him back in power, with even more unchecked authority, and rabid base to appease.
