While I mostly agree with this, I have one significant hurdle I am unable to overcome. What other choice do I have?
I can't stand most Democrats. They suck! But they are a far cry better than voting Republican. And voting for a third party feels like wasting my vote.
If there was a third party candidate that focused on climate change and social issues and had even the slightest chance of winning, I would vote for them in a second. Until then, I am stuck voting for the lesser of two evils.
You are giving consent when you vote. You are saying this choice is fine.
Maybe America is at a point where voting is not the solution. How are things now compared to when the American revolution happened?
Edit - people downvote this but 'voting for the lesser of two evils' is. What. Has. Got. You. Here.
Actually, when you vote, you just vote.
That's it. It's not a magic ritual, you don't telepathically send your message to the Holy Ghost of Democracy when you vote, Anubis isn't going to weigh your ballot against a feather before deciding on the fate of your soul.
You circle something or you don't and then you deal with whatever happens however you want.
