You're never going to get a perfect candidate. Never. Not unless you run yourself (I'm assuming you agree with all of your own policy positions).

You have to vote for the one that aligns most closely to you. Or, the lesser of two evils if neither are anywhere close to you. Anything else is naive.

Write-ins are 99% a waste of your vote. Very rarely there is an organized write-in campaign. I recall one for a down-ballot office several years ago (in AK?). Sure, it's tempting to write-in Warren or Sanders. I'd have preferred either one. But it was more important to keep the future convict away from the White House than seeking the perfect opponent for him.
