Someone tweeted that they were not voting for the person they liked the most but rather their preferred adversary and I can& #39;t un-think it.

It completely cuts through the bullshit, "lesser of two evil framings."

Which candidate do you think you can most rationally push/fight/cajole into your preferred policy position?

The reason I really like this framing is that it extends the notion of democracy beyond the vote.

There& #39;s a ton of lip service to "holding politicians accountable," but very little about what that *practically* means.

This says that your vote is the *first* step. That civic engagement is a process - that advocacy, and citizenry activism, is part of that process.

It minimizes the idea of "voting your conscience" because it& #39;s about way more than your vote. It& #39;s about the whole process.
