I see. The carrot of 'safety' entices you and keeps you following the party line.

No the thought of deaths of 4000 and countless amputees trying to keep me safe and the sacrifices they and their families make would keep me up at night knowing I helped put a military hating terrorist appeasing military secret selling Hillary or Barak in charge
.
It would make a mockery out of their service

It may not bother you but it would me

Is the Constitution a mockery?

Holding Constitutional democratic elections where any candidate (now typically only one of two parties) has a chance of winning would make a mockery of their service?

Then declare the Constitution dead and worthless if we can't hold free and fair elections without worrying that one party is the enemy and having to use our vote to prevent them from gaining power.

The idea of a representative republic is that elected officials represent the views/values of their voters...NOT that they represent a 'least evil'. This system of government is dependent on voters voting for politicians to REPRESENT them, NOT to vote for the second-most evil candidate who's likely to win. The Constitution looks like it has already failed if people are playing games with the formerly reverent act of voting.
