andelku explains why not voting is stupid, and why voting for the "lesser evil" makes a real fucking difference.
The Greater of Two Evils is still the greater evil, and all it really takes for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing, and that's what not voting is doing. You're doing nothing. You're not even sending a message. You're just not showing up.
And the pretense that this keeps your hands clean is exactly that: a pretense.
