You decrease the value of your vote when you write in yourself every time. Do you really have to agree with 100% of what anyone says? I’d have to write myself in if that was true.

Then you don’t actually care who gets elected

The unions are corrupted, too.

I support the alternatives up until election day when I have to accept reality and not throw my vote away. Truth is if everyone voted for their ideal candidate, we’d end up with 50 parties each getting 2% of the vote… There’s always more ways to split. You have to compromise somewhere if you’re going to vote at all.

So… I should just lay down and take it? I’m not sure what point is being made.

Nobody knows “what would have happened” and suggesting it is stupid. Ain’t nothing predictable about this dimension.
