      So it doesn’t bother you there are only two choices every four years?

      Of course it bothers me. Which is why I donate to and help with the campaigns for progressive candidates. But our political system is not going to change any time soon and throwing up your hands because the choices aren’t perfect is counter-productive. If you do that, you end up with LESS choice. By voting and voting consistently you open the door, even if it’s just a crack, for more progressive choices. By not voting you ensure that we continue to be stuck with two bad choices.

      Real progress has been made. And the real enemy of that progress is apathy.
