For those who can't bring themselves to vote for Hillary, here's something to think about...

9. One should always vote honestly.

A "protest vote" is a dishonest vote and can result in precisely this kind of unintended outcome. If you have two choices, A and B, and you believe A is a better choice than B, then you should vote for A. Voting for B in the hope of making some sort of point is stupid and childish.

If you want to protest against something, then by all means, go out and protest. Write to your representatives; write to the president; write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper or of the newspaper of record of your country. Stand outside the White House carrying a sign. The voting booth is not the place to hold a protest.

(By "you", I obviously don't mean you personally, Walk away.)
