    Correct. And lesser. Did your actions nudge the scale toward the lesser evil or the greater evil? Cuz if you had the opportunity to do the former and chose to do nothing over some ideal, your inaction supported the greater evil. Lots of people did just that, and the greater evil won.

    We desperately need systemic change, but that’s not going to happen with a ballot - best we can do there is damage control, so do damage control. Do other shit too, but understand that your vote is a dichotomy.

      I didn’t “do nothing over some ideal”. I voted for Jill Stein over some ideal. If more people had done that, we wouldn’t be in the current shitshow.

        Reminds me of an old Red vs Blue skit.

        “It’s not pink! It’s light red!!”

        You had some measure of power to nudge the outcome away from Donald Trump, and you chose not to. That is synonymous with doing nothing. Now we have Donald Trump. You sure showed us!
