Your logic totally escapes me.

You say: "One side is 'clearly better' than the other."

Then you say: 'A vote for the 'better side' is still a vote for the status quo."

Then you say: 'Voting for the 'clearly better side' makes you a stooge."

Definition of stooge: "a person who serves merely to support or assist others"

So me serving, supporting, and assisting the 'cleary better side' by voting for them, is a waste of my time?
