15. OK, however,

saying that a vote can be wasted adds some kind of peripheral value to it that can be interpreted in many ways. Here's another, that's not wasting it, it is being cast (or not cast) in TRumps favor.

I won't vote for a republican or a moderate.

0-0 = 0

I always vote.

0 + 1 = 1

Trump or Hillary won't get my vote because I won't waste it on them.

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost. John Quincy Adams

and not to discourage others from voting for the Democratic nominee in the fall by trashing the person that you do not prefer.

It is not over, but 4 more months of some of the stuff I am seeing here will definitely not help keep a crazy pube from the highest office in the land.

This is, after all, the DEMOCRATIC Underground.
