You don't think I understand that? You don't know me. I was a big Bernie supporter, I have a history of voting third party. Hell I think this last election is the first time I haven't voted third party for president since 2008. However, the other thing I also understand is you have to know which battles to fight. I'm not going to not vote for the person running against an insurrectionist. My god I wish we had better choices and I do what I can to support those other choices, but that doesn't mean I've lost sight of what we're fighting against.
