"And there is no absolute requirement on a citizen to vote for any of the choices when they're all bad."

No, there's not. But then, every action has its consequences.

You gain nothing by voting for a powerless third party, and you change nothing by not voting at all.

Remember the obvious: No good flows from the election of a liberal!
