Voting for a President when you do not approve of/dislike the candidate's on the ballot.

How does an individual make their final decision on which candidate to vote for?

Flip a coin/coin toss?
Fallback of their party affiliation?
Select by REJECTING the candiate you DISLIKE THE LEAST?

The "rejection selection" seems to be quite popular this election.dunno frustrated

Interesting...

Here, 'spoiling ' your vote is a way of showing disapproval.
Much better than not voting at all, which is apathy.

According to the article I read on the research conducted and based on what I've heard many people voicing their opinion's, it appear's to be a popular choice to "select by rejection", regardless of the ultimate outcome unfortunately.frustrated

Is there not a 3rd option that people can vote for, just to put the frighteners on the establishment?

I know money, and access to money, is the key to US presidential elections. But it might be no harm to fight against the establishment with your vote

There are a couple of other candiate's but they are not well-known internationally and each are holding under 10% of the votes. One of the candiates was a previous governor (a libertarian) of New Mexico, the state I have lived all my life. He was a great governor and untill recently, the last 2 weeks, I thought he was an intelligent person and thought he would have been more successful in the election, but he proved otherwise.
