Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are the least popular presidential candidates of all time. So why vote for either one?
You wouldn't know it to watch or read the news, but living in a duopoly doesn't require you to hold your nose as you vote for someone you hate — merely because you hate the other candidate even more, or you're deathly afraid of them. There are alternatives. And they don't require you to compromise your ethics or vote against your own interests.
