Some of us are actually not Democrats or Republicans because we really think both sides are bad in different ways. I still voted though.

It's still worth it to register for one of the major parties to vote in their primary and push them towards your actual politics. For example, I wouldn't consider myself "a Democrat", but I am registered to the party and I vote as progressive as I can in primaries.

But then you don't get to brag about your enlightened centrism.

And some of us who are that way understand that in FPTP there can only be a winner from one of the major parties and we are choosing who we want to fight to push for changes.

I always vote for who I perceive as the lesser evil of the two. This year is no different. I'm not excited about what either candidate wants to fight for. I will oppose whoever is elected on multiple fronts.

The November elections are damage control. Unfortunately they always have been.
