An actual election is a binary choice. Clinton would have put in place any number of horrible policies (at least horrible from a Republican point of view). Plus, her corruption would have worsened the swamp problem in DC. As is often the case one must vote for the best of the two.
The place to really impact selection is in the primaries. That is where true choice exists and I don't know of a single poster who voted for Trump in the primary.
Well, there were other candidates, but the one thing Republicans and Democrats agree on is minimizing the credibility of other parties.
And the best way to start with the primaries is getting rid of closed primaries so that we're less likely to end up with candidates who play to the extremes are less likely to make it to the general elections.
