When you cast a vote, are you typcally voting for a party, it's platforms, ideology, people, ect?
Or are you more often voting against a party/associated values and people you strongly disagree with, and can't see yourself ever supporting?
Been wondering how often a vote cast for someone is really a vote cast FOR someone, and not a "Ok, I can live with herpes, while diabetes might actually kill me.. And cancer, lets not even talk about cancer.."

Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
Being in the UK, we have a website called voteforpolicies that lets you choose policies from manifestos without naming the party that the policy comes from. You pick the broad issues that matter to you most (healthcare, environment, education, security etc) then you say which policies you like then you get a shortlist and you pick the one that suits you most. At the end it gives you a pie chart of which parties you most agree with.
I try to use that at every election but sometimes my best matched party isn't standing a candidate in my area.
Honestly, I have never voted. I've been out of the country for the last 2-3 elections. I also read up on the two candidates and realize that I'm only down with a handful of the issues what they are pushing as their platform. But, I would vote more for the causes I believe in rather than vote against a specific party just because I dislike the party. That's just stupid imo.
If they could do this with a politician, that would be awesome. You only get to read about their positions on all of the policies. Sex, race, political affiliation, and religion don't get brought up.

Both parties in the US are shit so I vote for whoever I think will **** me over the least and maybe get some good done.
