I reject the equation of not supporting one candidate with helping to elect another.

I was so strongly against W that I traveled to the nearest swing state to campaign for Kerry. I thought it was crucial to win that election and that the choices would have to get better after that. I was wrong. Now I see that if "I'm better than Trump" is enough to earn my support, the parties will never have reason to offer me a better choice. Soon I'll be admonished that unless I support Kaine I'll be responsible for the Arpaio presidency.
