I did not build or consent to this governmental arrangement, and would have been excluded from voting during its formation. I am willing to take a project other people build as my own if I believe it is well intentioned. A well intentioned representative democracy minimally allows me to vote FOR someone who I think is a good person and will make good decisions on behalf of me and mine. Minimally, I refuse to be bullied into putting my own principles on the line by endorsing anyone who I believe will mistreat any sector of the world population. The vast majority of policy does not follow voter preferences anyway.
So you're ok with Trump getting another term in office.
You have put way too much weight on the importance of voting day as part of political action. Save your activism for the other 364 days of the year, please. It's so much more important to advocate and sway opinions then. On voting day you are faced with exactly 2 choices for president and administration by a system which you had very little control over. You have little choice but to be pragmatic then and vote for the lesser of two evils. Again, you have 364 other days to atone for what you perceive as a moral failing.
Edit: 364? My bad. You have 1459 days to work on your actual political goals. Chill out about election day.
