I hate my HOA except that it's the only thing from keeping my neighbor from filling his yard up with garbage and junk cars. My bar is low, but it's above that. We live too close for that kinda shit.

You're just too dumb, it's ok

Our electoral system is trash, designed in a way that disproportionately favors groups willing to compromise and coalesce behind a single candidate. If we split the vote by voting our conscience while the "other side" consolidates behind a single candidate, we're at a serious disadvantage. The core issue is how the public is ignorant, or worse, misinformed and confident (made easier by ignorance). This is a failure of our education system, a system that's been declining for decades. Not a lot I can do, I was born into this.

As just one cog in the machine, my power is limited. If I see a close race between two candidates, with others trailing far behind, I'm compelled to compromise for what I believe is the better outcome. If you prioritize supporting a third party, or if you genuinely see both leading candidates as equally shit, then by all means, vote third party. We all have our priorities. However, I do resent being judged for making pragmatic compromises to cause some change, as mild as it may be.

Also... You have to hide a body for this to work. Seems like a high bar to clear

Of course there are. And if you want your vote to be useless, you can vote for them.
