First, hardly anyone uses 'contrapositive' correctly but this is, indeed, the case here.

And it's a sound argument, to be sure. I feel like I was only just convinced that the Lesser Evil hypothesis is better than withholding my vote, and I've actually been kicking that around since I read it, so I'm still kinda happy with that conclusion and will need to let this settle.

I chose not to pick a Pres in 2016 so it's not that I've not done it before. *ponders more*

"...the Lesser Evil hypothesis is better than withholding my vote..."

That is *exactly* what I should have said!

Pi, rewrite me anytime you want to, and sorry for this late response.

Of course, it *is* okay to with-hold your vote if you can't decide (again, in your own individual judgment) which is better or which is worse.

Like I said, I'm still kicking this whole idea around.

And late isn't a problem. Thanks for staying engaged.
