Because that's uglier. `or` means something completely unrelated in
expressions.

It most certainly is aligned with IF:
if cond1:
do this
elif cond2:
do that
else:
do the other
The if elif and else are all aligned in all of the code

By the way, if you're testing a single name against a series of
alternatives, it is often better to look up the value in a dictionary:
table = {bar: 23, baz: 42, boop: 73, beep: 124}
value = table[foo]
instead of:
if foo == bar:
value = 23
elif foo == baz:
