It is legal and until we vote for people who will outlaw it we only have ourselves to blame.

Easy to say, hard to do, when your two "choices" at the ballot box represent slightly different groups of wealthy donors.

Vote in primaries. Also wealthy donors probably care less about whether a candidate can self-enrich with insider trading.

Ah enlightened centrism rears its head again. Remember folks: at all points both sides are exactly the same /s.

If you guilt me into voting, I'll probably vote for somebody you don't like.

Isn't it better that I don't vote?

		No. It is better that you vote. For at the end of the day you can: 1. know you tried to express your wishes 2. know that the outcome is because people expressed their wishes 3. realise the balance between 1. and 2. whether the outcome is as you hoped, and especially if it is not as you hoped. This is important because hanging back and saying "Well I didn't vote for them!" is by default not supporting democracy as your country views it.
