Once you stop believing the fairy tale that there are two separate political parties in America - an evil and abusive one and a less evil and abusive one - you just see one big nasty dickhead telling you "Vote for my left-handed sock puppet or I'll beat you up with my right one."
What is the sane response to such a situation? Is it to placate this asshole and say "Oh no please sir don't beat me up, I'll play whatever game you want"? Or is it to stand up and say "How about no? How about you don't get to beat up anyone at all?"
The dickhead might say "You play my games or I'll beat up under-privileged groups! I mean, I'll still beat them up either way, but I'll beat them up worse if you don't play!" Do you placate the monster? Or do you turn around and say "No. No you don't get to beat up anyone"?
