Imagine a presidential election, (not to be seen as parallel with the real one) Bob is an absolutely reprehensible person in his personal life. Credible accusations of rape/murder and all kinds of shenanigans. He treats everybody he comes into contact with contempt or as a patsy. If he gets in he will use the office to enrich himself through various grifts. Jim is a genuinely good person, a genuinely warmhearted public servant. The thing is, despite your opinion on Bob’s personal traits, you think his policies are better. Not that Jim’s are atrocious, it’s just that even with Bob’s grifting factored in, Bob’s policies are a lot better. For whatever reason, you do trust Bob to enact the policies. No 3rd party has a credible hope of winning, although some have policies you like better. Who do you vote for? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/5331))_ ---

Imagine a different presidential election. Bob is an absolutely reprehensible person in his personal life. Credible accusations of rape/murder and all kinds of shenanigans. He treats everybody he comes into contact with contempt or as a patsy. If he gets in he will use the office to enrich himself through various grifts. Bob’s policies are also terrible. He has shown he will routinely make the country worse off and will be incompetent in any crisis that occurs during his term of office. He will use the power of his office to attack his political opponents and fill the government with people who are loyal to himself. And he will probably try to illegally stay in office past the end of his term. Jim is a genuinely good person, a genuinely warmhearted public servant and a competent politician. Bob has been quietly supporting a 3rd party in order to divert votes from Jim. _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/5332))_ ---

You’re driving somewhere on a two-lane. You’re stuck behind a vehicle going well under the speed limit, and which unbelievably and irritatingly seems to be following the twists and turns of your exact route.
