There was an obvious choice to be made here and you helped Trump get elected. Suck it up and accept that you threw your vote away on someone who had absolutely zero chance to win jackshit. Hell, jackshit is infinitely more than any Johnson or Stein won, or had a chance to win.
Most people don't always like either candidate, but they understand that often there is a lesser of two evils, and so they vote for the lesser and hope for the best. Neither Stein, nor Johnson ever stood a chance of appointing a SCOTUS justice, but Hillary did. Talk all your "corporate shill" bullshit until the cows come home, but now Trump is putting at least one, probably two, maybe even three justices on the Supreme Court.
But hey, at least you voted your conscience.
Congratulations, you're the reason our options suck every year. Not only are you an accomplice in this rigged system, you've even convinced yourself that being complicit is the right thing to do.
Did it completely escape your notice that we had an unprecedented amount of Republicans speaking out against their candidate and refusing to vote for him? And still Hillary couldn't beat him. Think about that one for a while.
