_"Not voting displays contempt for both candidates, a deserved position, in my judgement [sic]"_ -- motleycrew

"Deserved"? Maybe. Smart? Not at all.

There are two plates in front of you. One has a rotten banana, the other an Amanita mushroom.

You have to eat one, based on a vote of two people -- you and me. A tie means _you_ get to choose.

You can show your "contempt" for rotten bananas, as well as deadly mushrooms, by not participating,

Or, you can do the obviously intelligent, self-preserving thing and vote for the rotten banana.

The choice about one's vote should be based on weighing the consequences, not some petty, "feel good" and self-destructive urge.

But have at it, Like any good Trumpette, I'm voting Amanita.
