    Not in Electoral College and “winner takes all” democracies. You kinda have the option, but if a candidate is super evil, you have to switch to voting against them, instead of what would be nice.

    If it’s a democracy that forms coalitions, like many in the EU, for example, you can vote for what would be nice, so they can team up with others against the evil. This doesn’t work in the US presidential elections, unfortunately.
