Re: Why I will reluctantly vote for the power-hungry crook

The spoiler vote actually does matter. While it didn't work out for her, the close race between Hillary and Sanders resulted in her half-heartedly picking up his platform. Enough people go Green, Democrats court the Greens. Enough people go Libertarian, Republicans court the Libertarian.

I only vote the incumbent if I more agree than disagree with what they've been doing or saying. For example I am in favor of Paul Tonko and Tom DiNapoli. I will not feel shame in saying the phrase "I voted for {name}" for these incumbents despite disagreeing with Tonko on some issues.

But yeah, the rest of them I will either abstain because I don't know who they are, or vote the (R) or (L) challenger to try and send a message (not because I think they'll win).
