But... what if your electoral system requires you to vote for 1 side, and one of those sides is seeking to remove the choice between sides?

Really, it might be nice to think of yourself as not belonging to a team, but I think that's just a refusal to acknowledge the shitty state of US politics. Like if you don't want to be on a team then by default you're on the team that will allow you to choose.

Not being on a team doesn't preclude you from voting for one that you think would be best, given the current circumstance.
