    The problem with this take is that you cannot conversely punish the duopoly by withholding your vote, regardless of whether or not you think they “earned” it. Even if you don’t vote, one of them still gets in. The problem is, the people who are going to vote for the significantly worse of the two options are very motivated to vote, and they will do so.

      Yeah. Somehow they think that if they don’t vote- no one gets elected. They don’t understand that a decision will be made without their input.

      Or they do, and that’s the entire point.
