Your post indicates that voting for the winner is what's important, regardless of whether you actually like the candidate. Thats a ridiculous notion and it's the mindset that allows asshats to get elected.
Voting for someone who you don't entirely agree with but generally support is one thing. Voting for one moron because he slightly less of a moron than the other guy is asinine. Voting in the same crooked shitbag year after year while complaining about crooked politicians is equally asinine.
You get the government you vote for, no way to escape it.
