So don't vote and let the greater of two evils drag your country to hell faster?

Don't vote and force the party who gives lip service to representing your interests to actually step up and put their money where their mouth is! Any party who can only run on "we're not as bad as the other guys" doesn't deserve to exist.

How has that been working?

I don't know, nobody has ever had the stones to do it for long enough to matter. How has blithely accepting neo-liberalism's theft of the 99%'s economic future been going?

I voted based on Bernie Sanders's recommendations given he is a politician actually trying to implement change.

I have yet to see any case where not voting has ever led to a system where people get what they want.

Yes.
