My state, Texas, was leaning 12 points to Trump as of yesterday morning. A Clinton vote may as well be no vote at all, and for me, voting Lib is my way of saying, "fuck y'all, you're losing me."
Yeah, it sucks to be in hard red or hard blue states if you are not in the majority. My parents are Republicans but they live in California - their Trump vote would be as useless as yours. I'm fortunate enough to live in Virginia, where I have a hope of the state leaning democrat. Can't say I'm fond of the electoral college system that way, but getting your vote out their still matters.
