    There are other candidates.

I would be overjoyed to see a third party make it onto the presidential ballot.

    A populous that refuses to vote doesn't deserve one.

Isn't there a tacit agreement with governments actions by agreeing to use their system to choose leadership? By voting in a system that buys elections with money, aren't you endorsing the whole charade of it?
