A vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil.
Your vote is not restricted to just two candidates, and your vote is not like a bet on a sporting event. If you pick the winner, you don't get anything.

You can't deny someone else's vote because you can't know that he doesn't know.
But as a voter, you can know that you don't know, so you can refrain from voting and expect a better outcome that way. Totally different.

And so what if you in the USA don't live in a "Real Democracy"?
The last I checked in USA 2004, 99% of the voters voted for either of "The Two" AND Bush got _reelected_ AND this time round his party still has a fighting chance, rather than say "Not One of the Two" party.
So unless the elections got completely diebolded it sure smells like DEMOCRACY to me. It's not perfect, but that's a good enough representation of the People's Will for me.
If you don't like the results, go take it up with the voters.
If you voted for a candidate you actually didn't want, well that's your problem. There ARE other candidates, it's not just the Two that the media and voters keep assuming.
At the rate the USA is going, it's not so different from China which has only One Party

If you don't vote for the lesser evil you throw your vote away and you will get~ the greater evil. I'm AMAZED how many people can keep saying DON'T VOTE after bush got in the second time. The margin was 600 fucking votes, if you voted for the lesser evil then you wouldn't have bush now and would be up at least a trillion dollars and hundreds of lives. Please don't believe in the terrible logic. Unless you want McCain to get in ... *shudder*
