I will agree on all 3 of those quotes

Then I guess your choice is to not vote? Unless another third party candidate comes along that you agree with.

I'd never shame someone for voting third party. The system won't allow for one to win this year, but if they get enough votes, they can qualify for public matching of funds, and get more public support and access to debates, which will make it more viable that one could win in 2020 (also if we work to overturn our electoral process to the popular vote or a ranked voting system).

Voting Trump and writing in someone who isn't campaigning/filled out the proper paperwork for their write in votes to be considered d (aka the people who'd rather write in Bernie than find a candidate that best matches them) are the only two votes i'd be like "that's a waste."

Though tbh it's equally important to vote for representatives and Senators that will push a progressive agenda. Down ticket votes are so important this year.

Bernie is a write in and counts in my state, and because Jill gained 0 traction, I will vote for him as a DNC protest vote and democrat downticket.

He hasn't campaigned whatsoever, and has endorsed Hillary. That's fine if he counts in your state, but any vote for him would only count in eight states. It's a legitimate throw away vote, because that vote will not go to either third party and help their viability in the next election, nor will it go to one of the big two. "DNC Protest Vote" is legitimately nothing. Even if the third party candidates themselves don't excite you, giving a vote to them and helping them get a future is better than a vote that will actually be thrown in the trash.
