    I refuse to help perpetuate in any way the system that allows someone like Trump to have power over another person.

Then you refuse to sit it out, because inaction when your opponent is motivated and energized is accomplishing exactly that.

    Voting for anyone in this election grants legitimacy to the results, even if that means a President Trump.

That's a petulant bleat, not an argument. Make the argument.

    I've said this before. Blame the Trump supporters. They're the ones who will put him in the White House, not Sanders supporters.

Blame is not a binary condition, nor is it a limited commodity. They have more blame. That does not make you blameless.
