Let us assume there are 3 candidates on your ballot in November. There will be more, but for the sake of this exercise, 3 works fine.
Candidate A is a major party candidate that you agree with 75 to 80% of the time. He or she has had to make some disappointing compromises that distress you. At one time, you may have been 90% in agreement with this candidate.
Candidate B is another major party candidate who's views you mostly oppose. Some are quite frightening to you, and you will only agree with this candidate 15 to 20% of the time.
Candidate C is your ideal candidate, but running as an independent or minor party candidate. This candidate would be your pick if you were granted the authority to simply appoint the next president. You are something like 95 to 98% in agreement with this candidate's positions, but unfortunately, he or she is drawing less than 5% support in the polls.
When you go to the polls, will you vote pragmatically, or will you stick to your principles? Will you choose candidate A, B, or C?
