That's the way the elite (who own both factions of the Corporate War Party, Demonrat or Rethuglican) play us. Either way, the rich win, like convicted financier Marc Rich, who Bill Clinton pardoned as he left office, The Clintons are as crooked as Trump. 
We NEED ranked-choice voting so we can vote our preference, not our fear. Proportional representation would help us end this duopoly of capitalist war-mongers.
I'm ashamed to say that our Demonrat representatives, Kilmer & Tharinger, both support fluoridation and do not support the people's right to choose what goes in their water, as true democrats would. I did volunteer work for both of them, so yes I have succumbed to fear politics in the past and promoted lesser evils, but no more. 
When I was fighting crooked sheriffs out here during the Kernes reign of terror three Democrat county commissioners covered up for him, and tried to censor me. Don't tell me I HAVE to choose the lesser evil, when both are evil. Silence is complicity.
