27. Voting for Democrats under the current system...

as it's the best choice out of bad ones right now. Until the system is changed to allow for other parties, it seems to me that the Democrats are the ones most likely to bring the infrastructural change needed to even have a legitimate third party, much less a progressive party I would feel more comfortable voting for. We can't split the vote under the current system, as frusterating as that may be, because the Republicans are lock-step and about as extremist as ever. As long as the Republican Party is as dangerous as it is and unified as it is, I understand why I hold my nose.
