This is the correct answer.

The people who support the "both sides bad" argument and the "protest non-voters" are children who still need their parents to order their tendies for them at Chili's.

  • Get involved.
  • Understand the actual candidates.
  • Vote in the primaries.

The general election should be the last step in executing your civic duties and by that time you should be voting for your team.

    Get enough people on your side to un-rig them then.

    Bernie should have been the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee against the most easily beatable GOP nominee in recent history, but at the time I was a smug centrist and registered independent and could not vote in the primaries in my state.

    I also voted third party in the 2016 general election because there was no way I was going to vote for Trump or Hillary. So 2016 was my fault. I did this.

    Don't be me.
