Why Do People Vote for Someone They Don’t Even Like?

Imagine you're at a party, and there are two people running for class president. One is really nice but doesn't know much about school rules, the other is grumpy and always argues with teachers. But you still pick the grumpy one because your friend says they'll make better decisions in the long run. That's like voting behavior. People sometimes vote for someone they don't even like if they think that person will help them more later.
