... and Trump the most upstanding citizen.

Simply because it's all about policy. I like the left wing policies a lot more than the right wing ones and I would gain nothing by voting republican.

Of course this is hypothetical since I live in a real democracy where we vote for parties and their policies first and then faces.

You mean you like the centre-right policies more than then the right?
I understand some people see Democrats as let-wingers, but they're far from it.

This seems a popular theme honestly. Lots of people tend to put the party before the person, which is why so many traditional Republican voters will vote for Trump despite hating his guts. Same case with Hillary as well.

On a somewhat unrelated note, this might be the election with the fewest presidential lawn signs/bumper stickers I've ever seen. Usually they're everywhere in my area, but I've honestly only counted maybe three or four bumper stickers since the primaries, and not a single lawn sign. Crazy.

So you blindly follow ideologies rather than personalities. That's interesting, but I hope you don't think it's a good thing.

Also, the US is actually a more "true" democracy than what you're describing in your own country.

The US is one of the least democratic democracies in the world.

I'm on the side of the party that will vote for my wishes. Why would I vote for a party that is against me just because I don't like a certain face?

Yeah, not voting for the people you want in office but voting for other people who may or may not vote in your favor sure sounds like democratic heaven.

Also making voting as hard as possible sure screams democratic spirit.

Then you're what's wrong with the average American voter. Voting entirely on party lines is, wrote possibly, the most irresponsible thing you can do as an adult.

If I was a Republican with Republican beliefs I would vote for Trump. Of course he's an idiot but who else will fight for Republican values? Hillary sure ain't.

I personally think it's absolutely crazy to actively vote against your own convictions just because one guy of a party of hundreds of people said something mean.
