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.

If you could have prevented evil and didn't (by not voting) can you say you are not responsible? I think the system is designed so that if you don't vote for someone, then you are responsible for them. But that would only be true if the result depended entirely upon your one measly vote.
