(3,660 posts)Only two people have any chance whatsoever of being elected. The D nominee and the R nominee. If you, hypothetically, considered them 50% and 90% evil respectively, what, exactly, is your objection to reducing the final evil by 40% points? Why is less evil than the only alternative EVER a poor choice? It's not that there is any chance of a 0% evil write in dream candidate doing a damn thing. The butt on the Oval Office chair is going to be either 50 or 90% pure evil in your mind whatever you do. Who would choose to help the 90% option by either commission (voting for them) or omission (not voting for the only possible option that can stop them) and call themselves sane?
When the choice is to be hit by a bus and die or jump over the bridge and break both legs, what blithering idiot would piss and moan about not being given the choice to have a piece of apple pie instead because of darned DINO DLC Blue Dog Conservadem Republican Lite Corporatist Oligarchy 1% bankster bus schedules until it's too late and they are splattered across the roadside anyway?
