A conundrum

Tomorrow is my state’s primary election.
Members of the parties get to vote on who will be their candidate in the
general election in November.
I hate political parties and am not a member of any of them.
This does allow me to vote for any of them if I wish. I can show up at the
voting place, ask for a ballot from any party of my choice and vote on that
party’s candidates.
Then, take my name off of their membership when I’m done.
Normally which I pick is fairly straight forward. I decide which candidate
I like out of all of the parties, take a ballot from the party they are in
an vote for them.
This year it is not so clear.
There is a candidate I like.
There is a candidate I hate.
And, they are in different parties.
So, I can either vote for the person I’d like to win, or against the person
I don’t want to win, but not both.
And, as they are only running against people in their own party at this
time helping one isn’t hurting the other.
I’m honestly torn on this.
Should I support the person I’d like to win?
Or try and stop the person I would hate to win?
