How I arrived upon my stance regarding elections.

There is nothing any one person can do on an individual basis to make the candidate they want to win actually succeed, especially if the aristocratic establishment is dead set on stopping them with all their resources, power, connections, and influence.

But what will make me feel better is if the candidate I despise the most loses. And voting for their biggest challenger out of spite, although incapable of amendong the above problem, can at least perform the singular at least satisfying consolation function of scratching an itch.

They want us to support the lesser of two evils;

I want us to punish the greater of two evils.

We are not the same.

The lesser evil must, unfortunately, wait until the greater evil is dealt with. Then we can kill it too.

Business before pleasure.
