Not voting is extremely dipshit. That contributes to outcomes by over an order of magnitude more than third party voters do. We get into theses shitty situations by always compromising. First and foremost everyone should be in favor and push for ranked choice voting. That empowers voters and cuts down the power of party machines. I'm convinced it's one of the most powerful forces for restoring something that resembles democracy. I'll always stand behind people supporting candidates that support their interests the most as long as they have made the effort to make sure their candidate has their best interests in mind.
