There’s No Such Thing As A Protest Vote

This is so chock full of logical fallacy, you should be ashamed of yourself. One could easily say that the inverse of your option 3 is actually true. You say that voting for neither candidate is saying ,“Whatever you guys decide is OK with me.” The inverse is neither of these candidates is ok with me and I refuse to support one over the other. For someone who believes that there is literally no lesser evil in Clinton or Trump, voting for either one accomplishes nothing for me.

Of course, the absurdity of this system is that the state I live in is so blue that my vote doesn’t count anyway. That said, I will never be ashamed to vote my conscience and if more would, we would be in a much better place.
