intentionally wasting your vote is no good either, even if you think neither of the major party candidates is particularly that great on the issues, but my take is that if both major party candidates have an unpalatable position on some of the issues then you vote for the one who you think has the least number of unpalatable positions....i.e., lesser of 2 evils
if you intentionally waste your vote then what might happen is that your wasting your vote might allow the greater of the 2 evils to be selected
so yeah if someone intentionally wastes their vote I would say they can't complain...they chose to waste their vote after all

Also I very much doubbt that people actually do vote for who would be the "lesser of two evils", merely the candidate that has the most in line with thier own idiology. Would you vote for a liberal candidate if they could get the US economy back to strength at the cost of some decisions you may consider morally questionable?
