I would rather endure a shitty Presidency or Congress for a few years knowing that the groundswell is building, than endure a shitty Presidency or Congress with no hope for change because everyone insists on voting for parties which have a track record of corrupt self-interest taking precedence over good governance.
Nothing can guarantee change in our system. But doing nothing guarantees the stranglehold of the status quo.
Risk killing the hostage is not justifiable if the hostage is the world you live.
In other words, go with the hostage taker that is more likely to fail in pulling the trigger.
