I've been seeing a lot of anti-voting sentiment going around. Can't believe I have to say this, but you need to vote. Not only is there more to the election than just the president. (State policy, Senate, house), but not voting is not an act of protest. C'mon guys

"if you falsely testify that a criminal A didn't commit the charges against them, you're contributing to the acquittal of his partner B"

I mean it's true when you think about it, but at the same time you actually don't contribute to less evil being there in the world because you've breached your oath. Lesser evilism in a nutshell.
