Donald Trump: Obama didn't punish Russia for election meddling because he 'colluded'

There is no option D) destroy system and put mine in place.

Of course there is. This option always exists. It just has very significant risks.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are both either war criminals or, at the time of the November election, had promised to commit war crimes if elected. Voting for either of these candidates is a moral atrocity. Lesser-evil logic is false. Voting in the US election at all is an endorsement of the outcome, and should be ruled out.

There is a limited set of morally reasonable actions one could take.

First, stand in the US election yourself, promising to destroy United States military dominance and prosecute its entire ruling class if elected.

Second, leave the country and renounce citizenship.

Third, abstain, but register a protest vote. Unfortunately, this won't be counted as such.

Fourth, along the lines of option D, above.

Paying any taxes in the United States supports its military and economy, which are both deeply amoral, and should also be excluded.

Not all instances of interference are equal, and even if they were, that wouldn't stop the US from making a valid argument against another instance of interference. And beyond that, it wouldn't begin to make a case that Russian interference in the election is ok.

The United States is functionally evil, so all interference in its political process can be presumed good by default. Even though Russia is also evil, at least we can assume it's going to intefere in the USA's default-evil goals.
