I'm able to both tell you that it's pretty obvious that one candidate has no chance AND vote for what I want..

I'd happily vote for Sanders even if he lost, and he could. Hillary would.

And it's not a nebulous point.

America has been largely voting out of fear and cynicism for decades and it's not worked at all.

If something isn't working change it.

That's not nebulous.
