Voting third party won't get you anywhere either. It's a protest vote, and you know that allowing a democrat to sit in office is going to solve the problems you listed.

My vote is me voting my consience. I don't see a dime's worth of difference between R's and D's lately in the resolute effort toward running this country into the dumpster.

And Hellary is your problem now.

As Americans, we have but one single way to communicate to those who "represent" us.

That is by voting.

We each have one vote. With that single vote we have the only opportunity we will get for two years, four years, or six years to express our wishes to the candidates and officeholders.

To characterize anyone's vote as a "protest vote" is to cheapen voting in general, almost to the point of being pointless.

We each have a responsibility not to a party, but to ourselves.
