Reflection - my desire to not vote is guised as righteous outrage against immoral candidates, but is in fact a rebellious expression of contempt toward the political establishment for failing to offer a candidate I can personally respect. This is selfish and myopic.

I am advised to ignore the moral failings of candidates and vote based on *policies,* because it is better for the country to have a scoundrel who pays the bills than a saint who leads us to ruin. As long as morality and pragmatism are independent, this is good advice.
