Voting is the minimum. If voting isn't enough (I didn't think it is) then do more. Go knock on doors for the candidate that you like. There are a million ways to participate in democracy. The answer to a flawed system isn't to do less.

These "both choices bad. Better to not vote" people really don't make any kind of sense to me.

Image being unhealthy and saying "it's going to take more than a 20 minute walk once a week to get in shape. Better not even do that then cuz what would be the point?"

So do more, not less.

Love to door knock for Heinrich Himmler.

Hey, listen. I vote every year. This year, 90% of my ballot is going to be blank, because so many of the candidates are absolutely abhorrent. But when I am presented with the Himmler / Hitler choice, I will be firmly bubbling in (C) None of the Above. I might even knock a few doors and tell my neighbors about how great (C) None of the Above would be. If I could figure out where to send my money, I could even see myself donating.

Its funny, because I'm picturing you trying to recover from a broken leg with that mentality.

I prefer writing in "Satan" over leaving it blank
