OP adding to this: the position I'm looking at also has a 3rd, not D or R candidate. What I've seen of them looks pretty good, but I've heard voting 3rd party can lead to getting the person you really don't want since people don't vote 3rd party enough

How do you get over the ick of not wanting to vote for either candidate and voting for the less of two bad candidates instead? Doing research and lowkey don't wanna vote for either (not specifying) but I know it'll be worse if I don't vote at all

If you haven't figured it out it's my first year voting so I'm really nervous and this is a lot for me, especially considering my dumbass procrastinated this much on doing my research

For one, it depends on the state. Now some states are having some big shifts this year but there are some who likely won’t flip. Second, it depends on the election. Senate races? Highly unlikely. House maybe. Local, you’ve got a chance. If you’re concerned about influencing it, look at polls. 3rd parties who aren’t in the 40%s (or even 35+) likely are throwaway votes. But if there’s a clear winner, some people vote in defiance of the 2-party system
