She has her own set of horribleness as well. And as I said, it goes both ways. Do people who vote for Hillary all condone in any way the corrupt things she did? Her lies? Her views on abortion? Acting above the law? As I have demonstrated by using my mother as an example, no.
Disliking a candidate a lot is never an excuse to give the other one a pass on calls for blatantly unconstitutional and bigoted measures.
You don't like Hillary? Don't vote for Hillary. And definitely don't use it as excuse to give a bigot a pass.
Voting third party in a POTUS race is the same as voting for the person you like the least.
When I got my ballot this time around, you know how many third party candidates there were other than Johnson and Stein for President?
None. Not a single one in a state or local race. And now the third parties are going to take their three year vacation from the face of the earth until they self-righteously return to siphon off votes from whomever it is that's running against Herr Drumpf.
A vote for President is also a vote for the makeup of the Supreme Court, which can mean a vote that lasts for decades. So it doesn't matter if you don't like the candidate, you can look at their basic ideals and see how law of the land lawmaking is going to go because of their time in office. Now Trump is going to pick at least one, and maybe as many as three SCOTUS justices. And look who he's surrounded himself with.
That's what third party voting helped accomplish this election.
