When you vote, especially for president, do you find yourself voting for "the lesser of two evils". I know I have been voting since the 70s and rarely get excited about a candidate.

All the time, I haven't voted for someone since George McGovern ran. Next time around I may just go to the beach if it's just another two party hacks running.
Depends on who gets put up. More than likely, I'm voting 3rd party in 2016 because the GOP refuses to move away from candidates that latch onto social issues that make them completely unelectable to anyone under the age of 35.
Republicans are so afraid of losing out on the votes of retirees that lap up candidates with strong social positions, they're writing off any chance to appeal to younger generations of voters. They have to change, because young people are a growing demographic and vote on social issues first and economy/foreign relations issues second. Until they do, they're never going win the Presidency. Hillary still beats everyone, regardless that she's currently drowning in scandals and corruption.
People talk about throwing away your vote by voting 3rd party. Well I hate to tell you, but voting for a Republican who stands strong on social issues is throwing your vote away. That candidate simply cannot mathematically hit 270 electoral votes any longer.
