[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.

The solution is to change the collectivist philosophy in the country....
We need people with the intent to live their lives with ethical self-interest ,people have to shrug the brain washing that relentlessly attacks the reasoning of individuals and stops rational thought.
We need to vote Trump to avoid a strengthened verifiable corrupt leftist statist Clinton so we can work on the above.
Please offer the basis for doubting Trump would "not be any better than Shillary"
The reason not to vote for Trump vanishes under scrutiny. Though I dislike certain behaviors exhibited by Trump, I cannot thereby justify a refusal to act. The reason is that by not voting I give license to an altruist, moocher, or looter to vote more taxes, regulation, and chaos into the body politic. Knowing this is the outcome, not voting makes me an altruist. Enlightened self-interest dictates I vote for Trump. This is not about a conservative bandwagon, or an anti-liberal bandwagon, or even an anti-Hillary bandwagon. This is a vote to slow the tide of cultural self-destruction. This is a vote to apply the tourniquet, however painful, and stop the hemorrhaging of the past eight years.
Ayn Rand has a vivid example of the mystical mental construct where an individual confronted with a river of molten lava chants prayers to the supernatural to assuage the flow. To refuse to vote for Trump in this instance would amount to the same. Thank you all for your feedback. My vote is now cast.
The only way to fight this rule is to eliminate the party system and their hand in your pocket called the income tax. The only fair tax is one of consumption with receipts going to the States, not the Federal government. Until such time, the Trump corporation is strong enough to compete with the Corrupt party corporations and perhaps start the ball rolling towards our original system That would indeed make America great again.

Fascist control freaks can mind their own business--because me dino ain't their business.
Scumbags can kindly stay out of my face, my home and my pockets.
Nobody on the ballot decrees to end collectivism, regardless of the moniker. America and most of this planet has become die-hard collectives; witness 2012 with 98% voted for exactly that.
Now it's way too late to bother with choosing from lesser evils. Global collapse is now the future. Hillary will assure it, and the Donald can do little better.
Will Ted Cruz have the steel inside needed to make it to the top in later years? I sure hope so. However, I think he needs more toughening up before then.
(In this case, a response to claims that a vote for Gary Johnson is a vote for Hillary; or, on the other side, claims that a vote for Gary Johnson is a vote for Trump.)
Also, please observe the smiley face at the end of my post.
As of now, I don't think it can be turned around, only slowed down. But then, who could have predicted this insane election 4 years ago?
