    Voting for someone that does not represent you because you are more scared of the other guy is indistinguishable, as a signal, from someone that fully supports them. By voting against your own interests you are actively undermining the democratic process.

      See that’s where your argument makes no sense. Unless you want Trump to win, not voting is in effect “against your own interests”. Undermining the democratic process is what Trump WILL DO if he is elected.

      This is the reality of our election process, like it or not.

        Don’t bother. These braindead kids have eaten up the propaganda and it’s long since digested. It’s on us to keep their rights alive.

      And not voting is indistinguishable from thinking you like both candidates and trust that either will do a fine job.
