Well, we have the fucking camps opening. Luckily, plenty of terminally online leftists are ready to tell us how noble and moral not voting was! (europe.pub)

You're giving lots of examples of things that Democrats didn't start, but chose to continue. Which party started those things?

    That's a valid point, but

    we’re not voting republican we’re voting Democrat right?

    Many people are abstaining instead of voting for either party or a write in.

    I don't like the idea of a 3rd party president without 3rd party representation in the senate/house/local government positions first, but I'd prefer that people vote 3rd party over not voting at all because they don't like the 2 party system.

    I just do not believe a majority of leftists are refusing to vote, while at the same time understanding why they'd be dissilusioned with the "only sane option" that has so clearly demonstrated they do not actually have the will to make the changes they campaign on. Which results in a swing back the other direction by independents giving Republicans power, who WILL actually use any means necessary to put in place their horrible agenda.
