I dislike both, but am still voting. In first-past-the-post, I end up voting against the worst choice in the presidential election which means I must choose the other candidate that has a chance of winning. I hate that it’s this way, but neither not voting nor voting for a third party in this presidential election will change that. I can’t wait until we have actual ranked-choice/star/etc. voting and get rid of FPTP. I do vote for the most progressive candidates regardless of affiliation in local elections but, well, it’s a rural red-state district so that’s unfortunately not a high bar (and I live overseas so the amount I can be directly involved in anything is quite limited).
