If it means supporting someone I didn't like, so be it. I liked the opposite even less. But there's one thing for sure. Radicals are far more likely to participate to push their candidate/perty through. So, chances are, that in not voting, you're actually supporting radicalism by proxy.

That's always something to consider.

You don;t have to vote to effect change.  In this climate with these candidates, arguably, voting is the -least- effective way to secure meaningful change.  A vote legitimizes an unrepresentative government...regardless of whether your vote carries.  When whomever wins, wins, no matter what they do (and even when they do those things they promised not to, things you might have thought you were voting "against")....are they going to do anything -other- than point to all those votes, to their mandate?

Not voting is a vote for the status quo. It's like saying: meh, whoever wins is fine with me. Plus, it's charity to those you disagree with, their vote matters more because your vote isn't there to dilute their power. Very generous.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
