Your claiming that you're simply voting for "the lesser of two evils" is undermined by your determination to make her look good, and demonize the opposition. You're not helping. You're contributing to the perpetuation of the current system just as much as the mindless drones who watch Fox News. There is functionally no difference between you because you vote the same way, regardless of the reasons.
