Not my first choice, but I voted for her.

23. I preferred Sanders over Clinton.

But I still voted for Clinton in the general election since she was obviously better than Trump. One thing that the 2016 election revealed to me was the extent to which some people have come to personalize politics. Some people were treating the election like it was a vote for Prom King/Queen and you had to be best pals with a candidate to vote for them.

Voting should be seen as a strategic move to get as much of your preferred platform realized. I have voted for plenty of politicians who I didn't like personally and even disagreed with on a number of issues that are important to me, but because the alternative was worse I still voted for them.
