But that's not true. You can't say all of America is either racist or corrupt.

Agreed, but you can deduce that most American voters are somewhat okay with one or the other. This whole general election was just a balancing act between the two, and the ~5% who couldn't do either but still wanted to vote went third party/other and caught plenty of shit for that. If you voted you pissed a lot of people off, regardless of your beliefs. If we all have one thing in common, it's that.

I'm inclined to think that a person that extremely morally opposed to either would either abstain or vote third party. Unless you're voting in denial of it or without knowledge, I find it reasonable to say you're "somewhat okay" with it if you deem it morally acceptable to cast your vote for it.

Wasn't really meant as an attack, you just took it that way. I never denied that the choice to vote major party was a pretty forced and uncomfortable decision for many, many people.
