Voting for ‘lesser of two evils’
My biggest fear about this upcoming presidential election is that people who would vote normally will not vote because they are disgusted with both candidates. I would rather vote for the “lesser of two evils” than not vote at all, which usually ensures the person you don’t want to see elected gets elected.
Those nonvoters will then be the first to complain about the results. I have never felt like I was wasting my vote until this upcoming election. Regardless, I will vote because it is my constitutional right (I believe that still exists) and freedom of choice.
I don’t like the way the cards have been dealt, but I will play the hand and hope that there is a winning hand for the people of this country. Everything else is out of my control.
