And it occurred to me, voting third party is the very definition of privilege. This nut did as much harm as any Trump voter.

Your argument seems to be, fuck the people who didn't vote for Hillary... they'd no reasonable basis to do that. Well, they'd say to you, what obligation did they have to vote for Hillary? Because you say so?
If third party voting is the definition of privilege, how do you explain so many Bernie followers doing it? Bernie's base was not the 1%. These were people without privilege saying, "If I'm offered more of the status quo, I think I'll just stay home."
And not all Trump voters caused harm. A lot of Trump voters got exactly what they wanted. How's that harm to them? Do you mean "harm to the country?" Well, who are you to say what's harm to the country? "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter," as the saying goes.
