It's almost as if, and I know this is wild to americans, neither choice would have fixed that you're a country in north america, either. Maybe some things should not be used as a decisionmaker between these two candidates.

What I will say is that I can very much understand the urge to then not go vote (seems the democrates are missing ~20 mil votes that did not go to the republicans), and it takes actual knowledge of the voting system to know that this is not a useful thing to do in a first-past-the-post system, though it can be in other types. Hence the need to restrain oneself and still vote, just for the least bad option if no good one is available.
