Voting when you don't like any of the candidates.

Being rational, whether I like a person has no bearing on who I vote for because their personality has almost no bearing on the impact of them winning the office.
I voting for a political office holder, not a roommate or drinking buddy.

For the office of President, their impact has far more to do with which party they represent. The voters and other office holders of their party have more impact than anything I would like or dislike about the person holding office themselves. Since there is no greater threat in the US to moral and intellectual progress than the base voters of the Republican party and their office holders as a group, I vote to reduce their power as much as possible, which means voting so that someone else wins, which means voting for the Democrat no matter how much a dislike them (which in Hillary's case is quite a bit).

Both of the parties support war profiteering, insurance company parasites on our heathcare system, dishonest Wall Street bankers, and in general corporate domination not only of our economy but the world. The parties are not that different from each other. I don't like or trust people who lie to me. Why would I vote for one of them. The only dislikes I have for politicians is their policies. Parties really don't have policies. They are merely a political equivalent of a corporation and they simply seek power over the economy. Both major powers are little more than collections of opportunists and Clinton is at the head of the pack. I feel Trump could well be dangerous...but no more so that Hillary. I would never vote for either one of them. And their parties...are nothing but a vaperous excuse for powerful people to group together for more power.
