Then there are tens of millions of people who cannot complain about what happens next. Death of democracy in the USA ? "Well I didn't vote for them" Wife/mother/sister/cousin/friend died due to pregnancy related complications? "well I didn't vote for them" Etc.etc.

There is never a party you 100% agree with. If there is then you are probably guilty of blindly following. Your job as a voter is to express your opinion whether by writing to your representative, protesting or simply voting. Then hold them to account when they don't follow through or do something you don't like.

Don't let them tell you what you want. Tell them what you want.
