The corporations place two equally bad candidates in front of you and then tell you that you have to vote for one. Why do they care?
Because if you do not vote there will be no legitimacy. You give them legitimacy when you vote.
I feel I don't have to vote for this one or that one. If one is a crook I can decide that this is sufficient for me not to vote for them. If the other is unstable that is a valid reason to not want them to be President.
Any responsibility I bear is from not taking a more active role in the process prior to this point. I agree with the old saw that when you discover you have dug yourself into a pit the best thing to do is to stop digging.
