RE: Then your dissatisfaction will be compounded by the fact that you voted for a Republican socialist.
And this is worse than keeping a known marxist/socialist in office? No thanks.
RE: perhaps worse because the Congress will be irretrievably in the hands of the Democrats.
Not if conservatives don’t sit this one out and vote for conservative people in Congress in large numbers.
Here’s another choice — LEAVE THE PRESIDENT’s NAME UNCHECKED and ONLY VOTE FOR A CONSERVATIVE SENATOR OR CONGRESSMAN.
That would at least mitigate a total disaster.
This is at least better than sitting the elections out.
