Question: If everyone believes that both of the choices were bad...why not choose someone else?...

I was making this same argument throughout the entire campaign. This was the first presidential vote that I was able to participate in and I was disgusted with the choice. The third party candidate that I voted for was only marginally better, but he was better. 😞

I would have voted for the Green or Libertarian party candidates in the last election but they both sucked too. In my opinion, there really was not a single good choice in the last election, not even a lesser of evils! But I should've just voted for fucking Cthulhu and went with the greatest of evils.

You aren't understanding WHY trump was elected. Repubs rejected the establishment repubs because they say one thing and do something different. It was a message, a message reminding them who is boss. We don't work for them, they work for us. We're willing to teach this lesson until they get it.

Well, why waste a vote on someone who doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning. Essentially you're giving your vote to the one you think is worse. In this case it would have been like voting for shrillary. And she was not better than trump by any stretch of the imagination. Most of my adult life it's been a choice of voting for the lesser of the evils. I doubt that's gonna change so better get used to it.

People are just highly unlikely to vote for the person or party they like most until they become electable. It is why a lot of people don't vote lib dem in the UK and it is why in Scotland a lot of people started voting SNP even if they may have supported their views long before. Once they showed they could win an election they got these votes. Give an independent in the US the money of the Republican and Democrat candidates then they might stand a chance.
