I do it for the low, low price of not being sent to a concentration camp with my family under a fascist regime.

I get where you're coming from... but when the alternative is mask-off clerical fascism, it ain't a hard fuckin' choice.

Voting democrat is just plain harm reduction at this point, as laughable as that feels to say given present circumstances... But this shit show is what we're stuck with unless we can somehow convince the feckless bastards to implement a better system than first-past-the-post, so other parties actually stand a chance.

It won't happen, but neither will convincing over half of the population to vote third-party; and abstaining, while principled, only yields more voting power to Y'all Qaeda.
