Hillary isn't my ideal candidate, but unless I want to run, I likely won't get to vote for my ideal candidate. I try to push some in the primaries when the option is there, and I push some with my congressional rep. But by the time the general roles around I vote for my best choice within the two major parties. Some years it's mostly about winning, some years it's mostly about making sure the other person loses.

There's a lot I like about Obama, and a fair portion I dislike. The things I like I want to see continue. For that reason alone I'll vote Hillary.

If your profile is up to date you are the perfect 3rd party voter. Your vote means nothing in New York why not give it to a 3rd party?
