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?

Then my very bad! My apologies!!! You then did participate and have every right to be pissed!
My feeling is that in 4 years people will be very unhappy, those jobs will not have come back, the swamp will be filled with crooked Republicans getting themselves and the 1% more rich; and Bernie and VP Warren will ride into office with the most progressive Congress ever.
