    Elections are binary choices. No choice insulates you from embracing its consequences. And yes, that also includes the choice to vote for neither candidate on the grounds that both are equally objectionable.https://twitter.com/jiwallner/status/1234199323107364864 …

    Never Trump Republicans criticize pro-Trump Republicans for blindly supporting the president. But many proclaim that they will support anyone in an effort to defeat him. Is that blindly opposing the president? They appear to be two sides of the same coin.

        I've voted for plenty of awful Republicans (mainly at the sub-presidential level). On the rarest of occasions, as in 2016, I decided that both choices were in different ways equally bad. This year is a new choice, but we face again the same responsibilities.

        gee this sounds a lot like 2016 and look where that got us - just admit you secretly like “owning the libs”

        Exactly. There is such a thing as a bad choice and a worse choice. That’s it.

        In other words you’ve assigned your vote to whoever does get the majority. You’re not voting for neither.

        You’ve just described tertiary, not binary. There are three distinctive choices when voting in a two person race.

        You personally have more than two choices, but for the electorate as a whole, there are only two likely outcomes.
