Actually this is a very logical position for you to take if you see Hillary and Trump about on par, with both leading to the same types of disaster if elected.iWriteStuff wrote: . . . . I won't vote Trump because that says I'm ok with his candidacy. I'm not. It would be a positive affirmation that I stand with him. I don't. A vote is NOT a negative statement - you don't get to vote "No" for every candidate you don't like. You only get one "Yes". This is why I am putting my "Yes" behind someone I CAN support, CAN stand by, and DO positively endorse. How hard is that to understand?
Go on talking like the only way to vote "No" on Hillary is to vote for Trump. But it's shallow democracy and a horrible use of your constitutional rights. If you truly love Trump, then vote for him. But don't blow your chance to positively affirm your values by voting for someone you don't believe in.
One gets the impression that many who are touting a 3rd Party candidate for the first time after having voted Republican in previous elections, have this particular view. You actually come across this way in most of your posts on this issue.
However, those who abhor going from Republican to 3rd Party have a much, much darker view of a Hillary Presidency. I'm one of those. But I"m going in the opposite direction: coming from the position of having voted 3rd party in all but one election since about 2002, to voting Republican.
And I'm switching to voting Republican for the very principled purpose and reason of trying to save the country. Hillary, if elected, will almost certainly administer the coup de grace to our country. I simply don't see Trump doing anything remotely like this. And hopefully, quite the opposite.
