> I could not vote for either of the two major party candidates

That's the worst part of this election. I really dislike HRC. Her alleged crimes to me are much more significant than even the rape allegations against Trump. They affect more people, and they move our country in the direction of a corporate oligarchy.

But my alternative is Trump? Sexist, racist, and has unresolved sexual assault allegations against him? That's who you want me to vote for to keep HRC out of office?

Holy shit!

I dislike the entire primary system, party system, and all of the other baggage that goes with it.

I feel like my voice as a voter isn't adequately represented by EITHER candidate that is left.

Maybe instant runoff disapproval voting would be a better option; remove the most hated candidate from each iteration until a winner is left.
