There is no single candidate with which I agree 100%. Thus, according to your logic it would be irrational for me to vote for any candidate. Is that really what you're espousing? Are things really really that black and white for you?

I'm guessing you're not that binary and you're going to concede that it's rational to vote for a candidate even if you don't agree 100% with that candidate's platform/policies/opinions. Assuming you do conceded that, the next logical question is: At what percentage level of disagreement do you think the vote turns from rational to irrational?
