    What an entitled, selfish demand to claim others are responsible to convince you to do the most basic of civic duties. Do you also blame your dentist when you don’t brush? Your doctor when you’re malnourished?

    You’re an adult, whether you accept that or not. That means you’re responsible for your choices, including the choice to let an election fall to the greater evil because you couldn’t assed to fill in a ballot for anybody. Nobody else is responsible for you, that’s on you.

      By claiming people must vote for the “lesser evil” and nothing else then the party of “lesser evil” implicitly paves the way for people to stop showing up for them, which to that side paves the way for their greater evil to eventually win. -If you think that’s selfish and entitled, then that’s your prerogative, but if you want people support your candidate then you have to get them to want to support your candidate, be it selfish or not.

        Good thing I didn’t say you must vote for a certain person or party. Keep making excuses.
