voting for the lesser evil is not enough to achieve a better outcome. one must organize to have better choices next time. but voting for the lesser evil may very well be enough to avoid the worse evil for the time being, if those are the only choices available today. so choose the least bad this time (this is important), but (this is even more important) don't forget to build better choices for next time. democracy isn't supposed to end at elections. the price of freedom is eternal vigilance, and the price of democracy is eternal participation and organizing.
