It's public transportation, not a taxi. A vote for a nothing candidate means essentially a vote for the evil candidate. It may as well be no vote at all.
This is the system we have. Your protest vote serves to hurt everyone, including yourself. This is how we'll end up with Trump 2.0

One side isn't unanimously actively protecting you. The other side is hostile to your very existence and is trying to legislate you into oblivion.
The choice seems rather clear: live.....or die. Take your chances with the side that somewhat dislikes you or the side that absolutely hates you.

When was the last time Trump truly brokered a good deal for both sides (as is usually the norm for int'l relations) and not strictly to line the pockets of himself, his family, or his friends?

Since when do oil companies - or any business for that matter - do things strictly to bring prices down? And why would they invest hundreds of billions over a decade or more when they've already committed to Canada? I fail to understand the good business sense here...
