No candidate is entitled to your vote

Though I’ve spent the election year articulating why Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are both unacceptable choices to be president, at various times I’ve been attacked for secretly supporting both of them.

When I’ve criticized Trump, his active supporters have accused me of being in cahoots with the Clinton campaign. When I’ve made the case against Clinton, some liberals have argued that I’m trying to make a false equivalence, muddying the waters and thus tacitly boosting Trump.
