I think you can both think something probably isn't going to work or have issues with it and support it as a hedge or out of, as he said, "morbid curiosity". People do this with politics quite frequently.
I couldn't think of a non-ridiculous example, so thanks for providing one. However, your bad faith assumption that I was commenting in bad faith is a dick move.
Supporting both parties is just support for the status quo, really, it doesn't really require opposing anything. Supporting individual candidates from both parties is even less suspicious.
