You don't only have two choices so if you think you do you are being naïve. If you think by not putting your name on it means you get out of the whole fiasco you are sadly mistaken because you are now a pawn that lets others move them around the board without even trying to say anything about it.
Refusing to pick between options you all find repulsive makes you a pawn? As opposed to voting for someone just because you find them the least reprehensible?
You don't think that maybe the reason we find ourselves in a shit-show every four years is that the people have been convinced that lowering their standards makes them a better citizen?
