Why Do People Vote for Leaders They Don't Like?

Sometimes people vote for the person they don't like most. It's like when you're trying to pick a team, and even though one kid is really annoying, you still choose them because the other kid is way worse. People might not love their leader, but they think the other side is even worse.
