36. I prefer to vote wisely over protesting in the streets.

Sorry, I am not on the protest instead of vote wisely and strategically bandwagon. The time to stop Trump was Election Day 2016, anyone that thinks differently is fooling themselves.

Street protests didn't stop Bush from fucking up the country, neither will they stop Trump. Voting wisely stops republicans by keeping them out of power.
