No one forces you to vote. If you feel it so far beneath you, you don't have to do it.
I do find it interesting how "lying" has come to mean anything one disagrees with and has absolutely no relationship to evidence.
In your first version of this thread last night, I posted for the records of the two leading Democratic nominees on truthfulness as assessed by Politifact. That you repeat the same allegations tells me that you chose not to investigate the relative truthfulness of the two candidates. I would therefore suggest you think a little more carefully before throwing around the word lie and hold yourself to the same standard you expect of politicians.
I post it again, in case anyone here happens to be interested in actual evidence on the subject.
