Elphaba, who says MSD is not doing what he can to change what he doesn't like? Voting for any of the 19 candidates he disagrees with won't do anything to help that though. And you're kidding yourselves if you think the candidates give a damn about how many write-in candidates there are. So long as someone is paying attention to the issues and making reasonably educated decisions, and voting when they have something to vote for, I'm perfectly fine with people abstaining on items where they see nothing to support.

(Still, I would echo the recommendation to vote for a third party candidate - ANY third party candidate - in that case, simply to promote a more varied public debate.)
