I know people who go so far the other way. They don't vote because they think it's all rigged. They don't follow politics so they think all the parties are the same.
It's moronic. I try to explain but I'm met with looks like _I'm_ the moron.

There is more to a political party than their stance on a single issue. If you can't see that then you are a moron. And yes, I did just call you that, outright.
It is technically preferential and sure, it could happen, but none of the independents have, or will ever have enough of a following to win a federal election.
Also, for the record. I don't choose either of the two evils as my number one pick when I vote. I always do choose the party I think is best for this country privacy wise. But sadly, they will never win a federal election.
If somebody doesn't vote, then they're basically giving a free pass to the incumbent - which if you're in a Liberal, National or LNP seat is literally making things worse in these respects.
It really shouldn't be surprising that the incumbent party benefits from this attitude, yet I get the same look from likely just as many people.
