When will be your "this is the last fucking time I'm voting for the 'lesser of two evils', then I don't care after that, let this country burn to the ground"? For me, this is basically it. This is last election I'm going for that " lesser of two evils" bullshit. After that I'm done. It's just pointless. Let's hear it.

I gain the license to say I acted like a person in this democracy,

In other words, you get to indulge your vanity.

The alternative is having no sense of self at all.

If your sense of self only comes from voting, you have SERIOUS problems.

I didn't say that, I meant in the context of voting.

In that case your problem is thinking that voting is about you and how it makes you feel. It's not.

It would be if it was, so good thing it isn't.
