It's not our job to get candidates elected. It's their job to appeal to the most people and get themselves elected. I'm not going to vote for a shitty candidate, giving them a perceived mandate to do things I disagree with.
You want votes? Put up a decent candidate.
It is your job to keep someone as destructive to the country as Trump out of office.
This isn’t Bush vs Gore or McCain vs Obama.
+1. This is obvious. These "I can't vote for either " are trump supporters regarding they want to be or not.

There is no "wake up call" to be had by voting for 3rd parties. The US is democratic republic with a strong executive branch. We are not a parliamentary system that rewards smaller parties with power.
In a winner-take-all system like the U.S., 2nd place is the first loser. 3rd parties are simply....distractions?
In a winner-take-all system, game theory would tell you to vote for one of the two major candidates that you dislike the least. That's the vote that will maximize your chances for 4 years of acceptable outcomes.
3rd parties do not structurally work in the United States under our Constitution. It is inherently biased toward two big tent parties. If you look back in US history a new major political party emerges ONLY when one of the two existing major parties collapses from within and dissolves.
