This looks like a false dilemma. If so, why not at the same time: 1. Vote for the good of the registered candidates, keeping your vote and not directing it to one of the lizards, and naturally also vote in all the primaries. 2. Write a blog post with your “list of 5 worthy candidates who are not in the election”, which will include both a popular person with good chances, whom you consider the most worthy of them, and an unpopular person, whom you consider to be the really best option . Well, or come up with some even better strategy than mine. P.S. 3. As someone notes below, opinion polls have a strong influence on politicians, so it’s probably worth finding and voting P.P.S. in them as well. And I also heard that people generally prefer to vote in presidential elections because it is the most important decision, when in fact it is better to vote in parliamentary than personal elections, and most local than federal, because both options increase the relative importance of your vote.
