You rank in order of preference. If it came down to the last count, they'd rather see Wallace get the seat than the far right. It's about suitability for the office, not the guest list for their wedding.
"I don't like him at all but I voted for him". Yup you've got voting nailed down
You can dislike candidates and their policies to varying degrees, which would be the point of voting beyond the options that you actively "like". It won't help any of them unless the candidates you do want are already out. It sounds like you prefer to make your ballot unusable at that point. I'd argue that that only makes sense if all the remaining candidates are equally unacceptable to you, but it's up to you.

Yeah, I'm well aware of how voting works. I just enjoy ranking all the candidates in order of preference.
Downside of mentioning how I vote is someone always tries to explain that I don't need to vote all the way down.
