But, not the politicians I voted for. It's always the other guys.

That would have been a more interesting question to ask. It's a shame they didn't.

Nah. At the end of the day it’s candidate A vs. B. Once they’re all corrupt you still have to decide between them and pick the lesser evil as you see it. They’re creatures of ambition and incentives, and the corruption is a feature of the system. It sucks but what can you do but vote for the corrupt dems or the corrupt republicans?

Vote for a third party, or don't vote at all. Casting a vote for someone you don't actually want in office ("the lesser of two evils") is negligent.

		The reality is one of those two people is going to get elected. Your vote for Mickey Mouse isn't going to affect the outcome. Of course most elections aren't close enough for your vote to matter at all.

This is tautologically true for everyone all the time because most of the government is unelected.
