      People will hold a vote to see if everyone gets punched in the face three times or once. Would you not vote for only one punch?

      Your outcomes are between the candidate who will hurt you and yours less vs the candidate who will hurt you and yours most.

      If you’re lucky, choosing to not vote will still lead to the candidate that will hurt you and yours less.

      Be as pedantic as you want: this is the reality of it.

      Do whatever outside of the election season to change that but once the final polls happen, those are the only choices you have.

      It’s like when you get beat up and you’re on the ground. You try to protect your vitals and hope you’ll survive to fight another day.

      Not voting is idiotic and lazy.

        I never said anything about not voting.

        The reality is choosing between the two major parties is choosing hurting now or hurting later. Neither will actually do any good. It’s pointless to vote for anyone other than a 3rd party, at least then you’re not voting for evil.

          The reality is choosing between the two major parties is choosing hurting now or hurting later.

          False.

          • They’ll both hurt now but one will clearly hurt less.
          • One will also do more good than the other.
          • 3rd party during the final election won’t get anything accomplished, because that third party literally has no representation in lower positions of government.
