As I've said before, if I were in a swing state, I might vote Clinton, or at the very least I would abstain from voting for President and instead just vote for congressional / local appointments. However, since I'm in Massachusetts, a state which FiveThirtyEight gives Clinton a 98.3% chance of winning (with an expected 55.8% of the vote to Trump's 37.3% and Johnson's 5.2%), I can vote third party (with a lot of other people) and not risk the result changing.

Yea, I see your point, but still, Trump is not a politician you simply beat by a hair, he literally needs the full repercussions of every vote to send the message that this is NOT the way a western leader behaves. It has to be way beyond the margin of error. Hillary will not get us into a third world war, Trump would.

I'm sorry but that's not how the election works. As long as Clinton gets more votes than he does, she will win. It doesn't have to be way beyond the margin of error.

Since you seem to like sending messages with votes, there's a message we can send this election which will change all future elections, and that is getting a third party, or possibly two, access to federal election funding. Lets give the two party system a shock. If you live in a safe state, you have that power this election.

... but you're not yet qualified to vote, are you?

No, but my wife is and she is planning on voting third party. Its easier to use the first person when explaining things like this than having to refer to my wife every time.
