It happened to me many times because the person I want to win is not charismatic enough to win the election so I have no choice but to go for the lesser of the 2 evils. It just felt like a waste of vote if the person I vote for will not win.
I don't really want to vote for the lesser of to evil but sometimes they are the best option against the greater evil.

I vote to whom I feel could govern well, even if he/she is not so popular. I don't want to waste my vote on popular ones but I think would not do good for the country.

I have done that because of the party vote system. I was affiliated with a political party before, and yes voting for lesser evil.

@CaptAlbertWhisker the vote would not have any bearing at all if he does not win.

Hmmm, it sounds complicated. I would not give a voice if none of the candidates like me.

In Philippine politics it's most likely always a choice between evil and lesser evil, the sad part is greater evil always seem to have the upper hand

There are times though the lesser evil does win. If people are only smart enough to vote for the greater good.
