The evils of a 2 party first-past-the-post system.
It is vanishingly improbable that you ever be presented with a candidate or party with which you can agree 100%, or even 50% and will probably end up voting for the least-worst candidate.
Opting out by not voting is essentially a vote for whichever candidate is better at maximising the value whatever votes they do get, which inevitably will favour the candidate which has most successfully gamed the system through gerrymandering, voter suppression or other underhand methods of vote fixing.
