Because, right now, the other two options are to vote for the people who don't do anything at all... or just not vote and have that happen anyways.

It'd be nice if we had more options. But we won't get that while the aforementioned group retains control. While, with this group, there's at least a chance.

It sucks. It really really sucks... but at the moment it's our best chance for a better future.
