the vote is the only say you get. letting that go unused is just opting out. democracy only lives through participation.

#bothSides and people trying to avoid understanding

  • in effectively a binary race, the conservatives win when turnout is lower. Take a bow.
  • if you don't vote for the better option, you're begging for the worst. Self-high-5.
  • voting for a can't win third-party is like spoiling a vote but less fun at parties. Dip a chip.

It's the folks we made apathetic's fault! Now watch us run on trump 1 policies to trinagulate the conservative vote again. We'll even have Steve Bannon on stage this time! You have to vote for us. Don't you dare despair!

It really sucks that modern center-left parties position themselves as "well, there's worse"

Is this an adaptation of Cormac McCarthyz 'The Road'?

Yes but it’s not as good as the book.
