I Made You a Thing: On Voting "Status Quo"

People White men keep telling me that voting for Clinton or Trump is voting for the status quo, so I should vote for Johnson. Because what says "completely new and different" than a white man espousing the ideal that over half of the Republican party claims is theirs, an ideal that would throw all marginalized people under the bus? (Hint: including me.)

Apparently, being contrary to the status quo is now defined as being just like all the other white guys but with marginally less power. It feels... almost like an excuse to vote for the least crazy white man.
