My view: Since we are so rooted in our bipartisanism in this country, it is always going to be either a Republican or a Democrat. Therefore, I vote Democrat in order to widen the gap twice as much as voting for an independent candidate even if I agree more with their platform. Until the day comes when the American people have fallen enough into the category of libertarian (the public currently has very libertarian views) as to allow a candidate to break the bipartisan boundry, I will always vote against the candidate I don't like and for his closest rival.
You said bypartisanism he he he you know their are like 8 political parties 2 of which are gaining power because of the Republicans and Democrats attacking each other with some true and untrue facts the sheeple figure they will go for another party.
