There is a difference between being fearful and being realistic. There will be only two candidates on the ballot with any realistic chance of winning. You must not think much of the value of your ballot to waste it on an unrealistic choice.
My ballot is my voice. What you're saying is that my voice only actually registers if I cry out the name of the frontrunner I hate the least for fear of the one I hate the most. I take it then that you do not believe that third party candidates should even be allowed on the ballot since they're an "unrealistic choice?" After all, it would be better if all Americans chose only between the ones with a "realistic chance of winning" so that their ballots will actually have "value."
So very, very sad that you've bought into the lie these politicians have sold you.
