And this is exactly the kind of lack of perspective that guy is talking about. Imagine if there was no "lesser evil" and you lived in an authoritarian regime where those who love money and power continually rise to the top and take advantage of everybody else. There's not even a chance in that system for peaceful reform, and that's what don't vote idiots don't get because they've never been outside of a modern democracy and have very interesting history "study" habits (usually quoting things out of context and running away when someone tries to hold them to their shit).
I don't understand your argument. Things aren't the best, so fuck it do nothing? Let the people who will vote make all the decisions? I just don't get it. If you can't be bothered to vote, ever if it's for the lesser of two evils, then what can you be bothered to do besides comment online?
