There is bad bigotry and worse bigotry. If you don't have the option of no bigotry, you choose bad. Harm reduction.

Nothing like pushing the Overton Window solidly into Bigotry.

Protest non-voting pushes the overtone window even farther to the right.

Are you suggesting non-voting and voting for Democrats is essentially the same?

No, that protest non-voting helps Republicans, because it's much less likely a right-winger will protest non-vote.

Have you ever considered voting for good, rather than one of the two evils?

The time to vote for good is in primaries. In a general election, "good" is usually not on the ballot, just "less bad."
