Wrong. I took a stand. I said, and continue to say, Trump is the worst candidate I've ever seen. I, despite my personal aversion, voted Clinton. You have no sympathy for me, but that's fine: I seek none.
But if someone else decides that for whatever his or her reason s/he can't in good conscience vote for either, that's his or her decision. Those people quite possibly would have been extremely unhappy with either a Clinton or a Trump win. The fact that you or I decided a Clinton win is a lesser problem than a Trump win is irrelevant to someone who decided both of those two would be an unacceptable result. So they voted conscience. It's a legitimate choice.
To make it absurd, but to prove a point, if Stalin and Hitler were the Democratic and Republican candidates, could you honestly stick to the position of lesser of two evils?![]()
