I get what you are trying to say but you need to differentiate free-market capitalism and socialist government programs, the two don't go hand in hand and are very different things. Trump has largely deregulated Federal restrictions which would be contrary to your point in labeling him an economic communist.
That's why Trump is a Commie instead of a socialist, while the GOP itself is socialist. One of the pillars of Communism, and I'm talking Hammer and Sickle Soviet Red brand of Communism, is that the government controls the means of production, which is to say the economy. Trump has not only violated the Constitution by going over Congress' head to enact tariffs, he's trying to force companies to build stuff in the US, which is exactly what a Communist leader would do. The GOP is just socialist because they think old people deserve free money and healthcare.
I surely do not think you would allow such a stupid idea of I would support a traitor such as Hillary Clinton to even cross your mind?
Let what is posted below say more than needs to be said!

I didn't say you had to vote for Hillary. She is/was equally as useless as Trump and probably on par with him in terms of being a complete asshat. But since they were friends I'm not really surprised they're two peas in a pod.
In a two party system you have two legitimate candidates that may win the election, if you did not vote for Trump you would have voted for the Hildabeast is where she has something to do with it. Voting independent in the real world and the election results you may as well not even vote as your vote will not influence the actual elections results.
Oh...
Well if you insist:
I didn't vote for Trump or Clinton because like I said, they were essentially the same person, just that Clinton had actual political experience where Trump had...well I'm not sure what he had. But in any case, both were woefully underqualified to lead the country. I, in turn, actually voted for Evan McMullin despite him being a Mormon. He got about 20% of the overall vote here in Utah (primarily because of his faith) but I thought he was a good balance and mostly stood for the same things I did. Plus I wasn't super keen on Gary Johnson. Still, I did my research and voted for the candidate who I thought would do the job the best.
With that said, the mentality that there are only two parties to choose from is exactly what's wrong with this country's political system. People vote for party A just because they aren't party B. This is how you end up with the choices of two people that couldn't lead their way out of a paper sack. I'm not sure why it's ingrained that you only have two choices but that couldn't be further from the truth. People need to vote based on their values and not by party.
This is why I can respect Bernie Sanders supporters. While I don't think Sanders would be a good leader, I can fully appreciate the people who voted for him (or even Jill Stein) because they did think he would be a good leader. They didn't let the fact that he wasn't the Democrat nominee hold them back from voting for the person that aligned with their beliefs.
I will never vote Democrat or Republican because I largely think they are exactly the same party with only a few minor differences. Like I mentioned before, Democrats want to give your money to younger people while Republicans seem to think old people deserve free money. There are a few other differences too, like which set of countries we're going to bomb, whether or not to support the Isreali terrorist state, and whether or not the government should weigh in on social issues that they don't belong in. But for the most part, they're the same, which is to say equally awful, slaves to lobbyists, and don't represent even a majority of the country...just those with money and influence.
If people spent more than 30 seconds trying to determine who to vote for, I'm guessing the nation as a whole would land on more third parties. Ideally, I'd like to see the Democrats and Republicans vanish to be replaced by Libertarians vs. Democratic Socialists. At least then they'd stand for different things.
