consider this: if you go around telling people to vote for moloch, you gather support for moloch, and he has an easier time working with his buddy baal to keep their great satan in power.
if you go around telling people both of them deserve nothing but the ninth circle and that you'll fight tooth and nail, as best as you reasonably can, to avoid serving either, you inspire more people to do the same, and you avoid the sort of learned helplessness you're stuck in now.
It's not really that simple, given that Baal has a big PR problem right now and pretty much everyone is getting fed up with Satan.
You could convince literally everyone to not vote for either and have record low, single-digit voter turnout for the entire country and it still wouldn't matter. One of the two would still win.

Cool. Go practice what you preach by living off-grid and let me know how it goes.
it's going quite well for me. just before the recent thing with the cancelled election here in Romania i told someone who had encouraged me to go vote because we "have to keep going forward" that i don't really believe in democracy... a week later the whole thing comes crashing down. i like to think i gave him a lot more to think about than if i had said "sure, i'll vote for beelzebub, i heard he gives great dental benefits after he rapes you." i probably would have gotten to talk to him more, but i slaughtered the last of my chickens some time ago so i haven't needed to buy any more grain.
Do you have a better solution? The ballot is Moloch or Baal. You don't have to like either of them, but you're going to get one regardless.
How about Atlas Shrugged?
You're still going to get one of the two. You might even get the one that cracks down on people opting out.
