I sat out the 1972 election between Nixon and Humphrey. Many sat out 2000 and 2016 elections. Here are the consequences.

    There’s more than two candidates, but never more than two viable candidates. In a FPTP system, there’s no difference between voting third-party and not voting.

    If you want change, use the other 1,458 days of the election cycle to push for it - election day is for keeping the fascists out until there’s a viable better alternative available.

      That, and there’s the vote for your congresspeople, your state, local elections, etc. You should always be voting in those, too. Its very important on the micro and macro levels.
