Remember, it’s your duty to vote for someone who wants you dead, because the other guy wants you even more dead!

      No election is a binary choice, as each election effects the elections that come after it. You can stick your fingers in your ears and yell “I can’t hear you!” tell you’re blue in the face, but that doesn’t change the simple fact that anyone trying to compress an election down to a binary choice has the attention span and memory of a goldfish.

        I agree with you theoretically, but in practicality, in US politics currently, that’s how you get Trump

        Elections are always a binary choice. If you want to send a message, the time to do it is during primaries or any day other than election day. On that day, you can choose to support the lesser evil, or you can support the greater evil. It’s up to you to decide which is which, but that’s always the choice. Staying home, voting for a third party, or writing in some name that will never win, those all support the greater evil.
