I think Bill Maher put it better when he said that “the lesser of two evils is better than the greater of two evils.” This plan of not voting only works if everyone goes along with it. But, sadly, a frighteningly large percentage of the population are uninformed and fervently in favor of the status quo (or worse extremes) and will get out and vote. Not voting means abdicating to the unsophisticated masses. By voting, you at least have a fighting chance of participating in one of the key functions of the constitution, “checks and balances”. So I disagree with the author of that piece. What he suggests I would characterize as “surrender”.
