You misunderstand, I'm trying to point out that a "Democracy" that offers only the illusion of choice is anything but.
There's nothing anti-democratic about having a "dangerous" option on the ballot, but if there's only one "safe" candidate then there is no real choice to be made and democracy is impossible.
I'm not dying on this hill. I encourage you to vote and help us gain a little distance from the failed state, however small.
My encouragement to you is to do more than just voting. It's necessary but insufficient on its own.
