choose what's right, or what's better?

This presidential election is not an easy walk in the park by any means. Our choices have been narrowed down to, well, not what all of us had hoped for, but in the end, someone has to be president, and people will have to choose their side, but how should one choose? What many people think is a suitable option is to simply vote for one side because they dislike the opposing, but what that creates is a one-sided mind set. "Why are you voting for Trump?" "Well, I don't like Hillary, so he has to be good right?" Sure, some of Clinton's ideas aren't the best, but neither are Trumps, so who's to decide which one is worse? Your gut feeling? This is someone who will be in charge of our country for 4 years. No matter if you support the Democratic view or the Republican, you should be willing to follow and observe both parties, and make your decision based on what you truly think would be the best decision for the nation. I am not trying to say that Clinton is Better than Trump or vice versa, but if you have that one sided mind set, then you really don't care about your choice. You can go read something negative about Trump, and with that thinking, all of a sudden you will be supporting Clinton, but for the same reason that you originally supported Trump. In the end, we never truly know how good (or bad) a president will be until they are elected, but if you are willing to let your vote be weighted solely on the fact that you oppose one's views, do some research, you just might end up voting for that person.
