The choice you missed is to refuse to participate. To refuse legitimizing the charade with your vote. They'll put -somebody- in the office whether you vote or not, and..like you said..it's not like there was any real choice to begin with. As it stands, though, when our girl hillary invades some other shithole country in search of more lucrative opportunities for profit - that shit's on you just as surely as it would be if you were a trump voter and he'd done it.
I hope that america gets tired of this "lesser of two evils" bullshit before they prop the next two turds up. That has to happn, or we can't legitimately bitch about things not changing.
The thing is, if you simply refuse to participate, they'll just assume you're lazy or ignorant. That's why I'm trying to think of a good fictional character to write in. I was leaning towards Big Bird.
