No. That's not the point. Going into an election voting for somebody you know won't win when your state is literally deciding the election is irrational. No realistic mobilization of Johnson voters could ever have dreamt of getting close to getting the state to go for him. Your choice is between Clinton and Trump. All Johnson voters did was frustrate the realists in those states. And when the numbers are so close that Johnson's numbers literally fill the gap between the two candidates, it's inexcusable. Ridiculous.
I voted third party. Not even, I voted for a joke third party candidate. But I live in New York. If I lived in Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, Florida, etc. you bet your ass I'd have voted for Clinton.

I live in Michigan and voted for Johnson. I did not "fuck" anything up. I voted my opinion as the rest of Americans did.
Michigan:
Trump - 47.6%
Clinton - 47.3%
Johnson - 3.6%
Tell yourself that all you want, friend.
