the only irrational thing is repeating the same actions that brought us here.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.

Who is expecting different results when they vote? I expect the same thing each time - Democrats doing less harm than Republicans.

People need to be realistic about the options in front of them in that moment. Do things outside of voting when you can, but on voting day the right thing to do isn't complicated.

People still need to show up and vote, and they need to choose the least bad option even if it's not an option they actually like. Not doing so is irrational behavior.
