        Not voting is letting trump have an easier time at victory

        The core of the GOP’s strategy for holding on to power is the disenfranchisement of voters who are opposed to them. Not voting (or voting third party) is self-disenfranchisement and doing the GOP’s work for them.

          Nobody running for president, ever, has deserved the office. I sincerely believe, as Douglas Adams so eloquently put, that “those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.”

          I can’t think of any point in recent history where the choice is of who is deserving for office. The choice is, and has always been, who is the least undeserving of office (or the spoiler candidate). This year, I think it’s pretty obvious who is least undeserving of office.

          The choice of who is deserving for office is reserved for everyone else further down the ballot.

      What happens in a FPTP system with only 2 viable parties when everyone doesn’t vote for the least maniacal of the two?

      Who do you think wins that bout?
