... if you vote for Trump, that's a vote for Trump.
If you vote for Odin, that's a vote for Trump.
If you vote for doge, that's a vote for Trump.
Seems to imply that Trump is an inevitability, which is annoying.

The only two candidates that have a chance to win are: Trump and Hillary.
He wants Hillary to win. So if you're not voting for her, then you're voting against her. It's pretty simple logic here.
I say the same thing, but I don't want Hillary to win, so therefore, any vote that's not for Trump is a vote for Hillary [Including not voting]. IMO, it's Hillary's election to lose.
and IMHO Gary Johnson is less of a libertarian than Ron or Rand. And same for his VP pick.
If you vote for him, you're still voting for "the lesser of two evils", but you're now actively throwing away your vote because youre not voting for someone with a legitimate chance of winning, so you vote carries no power and has no affect on the next 4 years of governance.
No it's not. How does voting for Gary enhance individual liberty?
and honestly, is he really that different? Have you actually looked at his policy over someone like Ron Paul (WHO ACTUALLY ADVANCED THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY?!?!)

I always laughed at people that used hyperbolic language like that in Illinois like Hillary isn't going to win the state by 10%+

It really depends on what state the person is in as well. Due to the winner takes all electoral college your presidential vote really doesn't matter in the majority of states.
