“we are not only left with the least worst choice.”
Ummm, actually in REALITY you are. It’s only in Fantasy World that a vote wasted counts for anything whatosever.
If McCain is less ‘bad’ in your view than the usual suspect dressed up in all new spiffy attire, and you proceed to vote for Barr who is a nobody running for a nothing Party, then you have objectively cast a REAL vote for the worst possible outcome.
Subjectively you get to feel all righteous about your choice but if the ‘worst’ candidate of the REAL candidates then goes on to win, you have objectively allowed and indeed enabled that to happen.
So essentially you really are “left with the least worst choice ” scenario. You just don’t want to accept it.
Huge difference there.
Huge.
