Except that the lesser evil takes your vote as explicit support of everything they're doing, and will claim it as a clear mandate, we'd like to stop but our hands are tied the voters wanted this.
And then other way to look at it is that by not voting, you’re saying you’re completely fine with the choices and are willing to allow others to chose for you.
What choice?
Choosing between ketchup or mustard on your shit sandwich does you no good, if you don't want a shit sandwich in the first place.

No matter how you look at it- you’re making a decision on who runs America- and your choices are:
Democracy, or End Of Democracy.
Vote to pick one, or don’t vote and one is picked for you. Either way- “neither” isn’t an option.
Yeah that is another way. The wrong one.
It might be incorrect, because they don't know your motives, but that's the whole point of voting - showing your motives. In a voting democracy abstinence is begrudging consent to either candidate. The two party system forces this reality.
