My sentiment exactly. The false dichotomy of American politics has 49% voting for virtuous Hillary to keep evil Trump from being President, and 49% voting for virtuous Trump to keep evil Hillary from becoming President. Then there’s the 2% who are left scratching their heads asking themselves what the hell has happened to their country. I think the only option for serious Americans is to withdraw from the political system en masse’. In protest, refuse to participate in the circus. If voter participation got down to dangerously low levels, it would scare the hell out of the political class. They would realize that the public is on to them. For as long as people keep returning to the polls, half the country voting for candidate A and half the country voting for candidate B, nothing will ever change.

And in a democracy nobody gives a shit about the 2%.....they’re an anomaly, outliers, even if they happen to be the most politically intelligent people in the nation.
