While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.

The current Obamanation is not my fault. Why?
I did not voting day twice sit on my hands.
A caustic continuation of White House socialism, albeit Bolshevik BS Bernie or a Bungling Bloody Billary, will not be my fault either.
This "old dino" will vote AGAINST such wanton wreckage of what used to look like the America I thought I was growing up in..
One may view my voting as an exercise in futility since my Birmingham area is a blue speck in a red state.
Nevertheless, I have always viewed voting as my patriotic duty even if the choice sucks.
I have myself to live with. So for me there it is. Call me old-fashioned if you will.
I'm neck deep in the game. but the veersion I play is for larger stakes is not rigged, and does not offer an easy out. However that's not your playing field any more so enough of that. .
and fall of America: i.e. the Obama years!
They are outa their heads...
I would much prefer to always cast my vote for the one I believe is the "Lesser Evil" because a refusal to vote at all or as you call it "Play the Game" is a vote for the "More Evil" as I see it. In American politics we will have a choice between 2 possible candidates on election day who could possibly win. The outcome will in fact affect us all.
I cast my vote not for the one I wish to win but against the one I refuse to accept as a political leader. I am "Ruled" by no man or woman but I must live by the rules these jerks put in place. If my choice on election day comes down to Clinton against Mickey Mouse then you can be sure I will vote against Hillary but I will vote so it goes to the next viable candidate that has a chance to win and not to any third party guaranteed looser. That's my plan and I am sticking to it!
As for voting for someone who cannot possibly win that means you knowingly and willingly voted for the other side under the winner take all rules. Still your choice.
The next option is joining the 44 - 46% and try to help raise that figures of those who chose not to support evil or show any support whatsoever to the side of what I personally call preordained rigged elections by a one party system . My definition. A percentage I might add that is steadily growing.as people adhere to the adage the only way to win is not play their game.
One thing I will not do is absolve you. That is your decision and your choice and no it is not easy. It takes strict adherence to the third rule of Objectivity. It allows no excuses and then application of moral values. Your choice even if it's choosing to adopt the ethics or lack of set forth or dictated by others. If you knowingly adopt there rules and then define them as evil you have defined yourself. No one else did that you did it/
I use 'you' in general terms not directed at ir1776wg specifically. just to make that plain.
However after the election you can proclaim I voted for evil, I chose to enable evil, I chose to compromise with evil. I chose not to support evil. No where in that range of choices is the word We.
And remember the individual choice you made and take responsibility for it.
The side bet this time is someone I thoroughly despise Donald Trump. He is, to me, a different form of evil but evil none the less. I shall not make that choice. Others see it as a way to judo evil or exchange it for another form. My individual choice is not to play that game.
It's a secular way of saying 'get behind me.' For you religious folks its a repudiation of the devil in which ever religion you profess.
Your choice, your responsibility you absolve yourself. No one else can do it for you.
Consciouos conscience the results are to your credit or your shame but it's your verdict. One man or woman jury.
That's Ayn Rands third law
Being ruled is anathema.
