I'm going to continue voting for the lesser of true evils because choosing to not participate is provably worse.

I agree we need to fix the system, and people are working to do that. When the choice is between someone who doesn't support you, and someone who actively, vocally supports your eradication, you have to be a particular kind of stupid to think sitting on the sidelines is going to help. This is why languages have metaphors and similes against doing what so many people did, like "burying your head in the sand," and "sitting on the sidelines," and probably the most ironic of all given to origin, "all that it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing."

Which is exactly what they did. And now their people are suffering for it, asks women are suffering for it, and minorities, and civil rights... but hey, at least they made a bunch of other people suffer, too, huh?
