No. Voting for the lesser of two evil is still voting for evil. I'll write someone in before I vote for some party functionary that only cares about their own political power.

    Given that I havent expressed a preference and have never voted either Democrat or Republican in a single election (owing to not being American) I believe you may be inventing things about me.

    And what I said stands, you functionally dont express a preference and what you do is equivalent to staying in bed and not turning out to vote.

    As you said. You aren't American, so you don't have any right to interject yourself into our voting system. And for the record, our 2 party system is absolutely nothing like most other nations that have multiple strong parties.

    You cannot break the stranglehold of the 2 party system by continuing to vote for those two parties.
