Well then what's the alternative? You can't just not vote.
Vote third party and, more importantly, organize your community. Get involved, don't just wait for elections to roll around.
I already explained why voting third party in anything other than a primary is a waste of a vote if they're not the primary challenger against the GOP candidate. I need a better answer or I'm going to continue voting for the lesser evil.
The better answer is to organize your community so that ultimately we can overcome bourgeois politics and break free of the prisoner's dilemma they have created. Vote for whoever you want in the meantime, it's not going to fundamentally change the game or liberate us.
No, you explained why you keep throwing your vote away by giving it to a party that openly disregards what you want.
