Voting for the lesser of two evils, is still voting for evil.
It's voting for less evil. And staying home is an extra vote for more evil.
But I promise, get the frustration. We live in a fucked up system that filters out good candidates.
Nope, vote based on your values. If everyone did that, you wouldn't have to settle for evil.
That's not how American voting works, if everyone voted for who they think is absolute best, the group with the most unity wins, which is exactly why political parties exist.
A plan that depends on everyone spontaneously deciding to do what you think is best is no plan at all.
You obviously don't understand basic game theory.
Are your values based around helping the worst of two evils get in power? Because it sure sounds like it.
Bold of you to assume everyone shares your values.
Voting to express yourself is pure vanity. Vote in a way that will actually influence the outcome in a positive way. If, that is, you want to do something other than feel good about how morally superior you are.
