some muttering on elections

“This election sucks, it’s just choosing the lesser of 2 evils!” 

Ok, first: that’s just called an election. Every election ever is just a choice between the lesser of evils, even an evil-free candidate would be chosen by being less evil than his or her opponent. But I see a lot of people choosing candidates as like some weird stand or some revenge against the planet for how the primaries shook out. And while I’ll never tell you how to vote, 1 tiny piece of unsolicited advice is that I think you have a responsibility as a US citizen to think about what the person IS as much as what they aren’t. Because at the end of the day, a term is about the President’s accomplishments. So: what do you think, good or bad, your candidate will DO? This is what matters, to me. Not lines in the sand, not sticking your thumb in the eyes of a system that pisses you off. We have a duty to try to move the country forward. Who’s got the best shot at moving it the right way?
