 Voting is a compromise, but that doesn't necessarily make it completely

 predecessor. If you get the chance, it might be worth trying to slow this 
down 
 slightly by showing some nominal support for whichever candidate seems less

 are plenty of ways to attack that, but i'll leave them to someone else.

It is pointless.  How do I say one is less obnoxious than the other when I 
abhor both of them.  I cannot feel responible for "choosing a person to 
govern over me."  It goes against everything I fight for.  If I were to say, 
"Well, the Democratic republican wants to change the government, so I'll pick 
him" it goes against my morals because I don't want to change the central 
government.  I want to eliminate it.  If there are fewer voters, maybe the 
point will be shown that the majority of people are not happy.  This, I 
think, has to be the first step.  Then, more people will listen to what 
SHOULD be done instead of what is the least UNappealing quick-fix.
