[Ask the Gulch] I am leaning toward not voting for any presidential candidate. Am I justified?

While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
Previous comments... You are currently on page 5.
Are we a nation ready to listen to, and act on, John Galt's speech?
If you want Hillary to win you must any of the following:
Vote for Hillary
Vote for anybody but Trump
Don't vote at all.
Any of those actions are either a direct vote for Hillary, or passively voting for Hillary while trying to hide your passive acquiescence of her rise to power in some warm cloak of excuses.
Otherwise Vote Trump!
If you look at it rationally, you have 2 binary choices...
Either you actively or passively help Hillary win.
Or you actively help Trump win.
You can lie to yourself all you want but those are the choices. Accept Hillary's rule or Vote Trump.
Conflagration of corrupt bureaucraps "your fired"
Not voting , may allow you to not sanction the winner , but it won't help our country stop the leftist statist collectivists that currently have a strangle hold on our rights.
She has planted in the media outright lies about Trump that people like you are swallowing hook line and sinker. Her good connections with the RINO's and the dems will only mean a green light to continue the destruction of our constitution.
"It would be totally defecating on the office of the POTUS and any respect for it" to late , the current POTUS has already accomplished that.
Putting such into the most powerful political office in the world in completely insane. It must not occur. It would basically be totally defecating on the office of POTUS and any respect for it or for what once really did make America great.
Now I don't like Hillary either. She, like Trump is a big government statist. Her policy on guns, global warming and noises about "income inequality" are quite disturbing. However, she is a very competent politician and she appears to be quite sane if highly misguided. She has good connections at home and abroad important to the role whereas Trump has pretty much alienated nearly everyone he would have to work closely with as POTUS.
The only other respectable choice is to vote for Johnson and only if Trump has no chance. Otherwise my opinion is one would be chancing death of much too much that is dear.
I am voting based on preference of policies, neither candidate really has me all that excited.
