Everyone has flaws including the candidates of the two major parties. In my judgement Trump's character flaws are worse than Hillary's. Evangelical Christians were so shocked at Bill Clinton's extramarital sexual activities but many seem to have no problem with Trump's nonconsensual pussy grabbing. What's up with that?
People have been told that they have to vote for one of these two and if they don't they are being irresponsible, etc.

If you subscribe to that then choosing to vote for one or the other may merely be that you have decided they are the "lesser of two evils".

I don't subscribe to that. I feel if you vote for someone then you are responsible for them.

If I don't vote for Trump or Clinton then I am not responsible for either one being elected. Instead the corporations that wheeled them out will be wholly responsible. The fewer that vote for either one the clearer this will be.

Catastrophes of administration lead to reform, revolt, or even revolution. These candidates were given to us by the corporations, they should be held accountable for the outcome.
