I think a lot of people don't actually like candidates but vote to spite the candidate they hate more.

I'm in communist held N.J I feel like I "Spite vote" whenever I get stuck here.

The swamp takes it too far. Romney vs Obama ...I wrote in Margret Thatcher.

One-party (and two-party) systems are bad as well for the same reasons you mentioned.

And yet virtually every multiparty system boils down to a two-party system within a short time - and sometimes even a single-party system (as in Germany with its Grand Coalition of the two biggest parties in their 2nd term by now).

The most recent example of a third party taking over is in Austria, and it took a lot of bottled up anger of the general populace for the FPÖ to arrive there.

It's impossible to find a candidate that I agree with everything about. I can only vote for the closest match.

You'll have the best luck in primaries, but even then, finding a 100% match is going to be impossible.

Agree. I wanted Mary Taylor for Ohio governor but she was defeated by Mike DeWine, who I do not like much at all.

I do not live in a swing state.

I generally vote third party

Even if you were in a contested area, you should vote for the candidate you prefer, not the lesser of two evils. Statistically your vote will never influence a national election anyway--even when you live in a competetive race. So it is better to vote your conscience and signal your discontent with the mainstream candidates and show public support for those that match your views.

I would probably go with the Modern Whig Party, which is a real thing, if they were not so darn inactive.
