Upset Republicans who aren't afraid of Hilary more than Donald (but who still hate her) will likely vote Libertarian and this may be enough to deny Donald the Oval Office. You don't need to vote for Hilary. Donald will be blocked from doing most things by the rest of the government anyway.
And 20% combined is barely enough to even be allowed to come to the debates. You need to be polling 15% by five major national public opinion polls in order to even be allowed at the debate table.
I don't think you know much about American politics if you think that Trump will be blocked from doing most things by the rest of the government anyway. Republicans currently run the house and senate. And they'll gladly let him throw whatever conservatives he wants on the Supreme Court. If Hillary loses, then there's no chance that the Democrats take back the Senate or the House. Worst of all, Trump could nominate up to five supreme court justices. Clarence Thomas could step down, Scala's seat still isn't filled, Ginsburg is getting up there in age, so is Anthony Kennedy, and that's four right there. Breyer is no spring chicken either, and could also die in the next four years. That's five supreme court justices, and that's not even including the likes of Alito and Roberts. Easily enough to overturn Roe v. Wade, or allow outrageous abortion restrictions. Enough to allow forced c-sections for women. Enough to overturn Obergfell, or allow religious discrimination against gay couples.
The Libertarian and Green Party candidates (Johnson and Stein) aren't even on the ballot in all fifty states. And it's likely they won't be. Even if they manage to get on the ballot on every state, they still have to be polling 15% on five national polls in order to make it to the debates. And even if they do that, they still won't get the exposure needed to overcome everything else.
I for one support Hillary. While I don't agree with her on everything, I don't agree with any candidate on everything. I certainly agree with her more than I do any other candidate that has a shot at winning the election. For me, that's enough. She's pro-choice, pro public education (she sent Chelsea to public school while they were in Arkansas, and never ran a Private University that was nothing more than a scam) she's pro gay rights (she had to turn around on it, but so did Obama) and she's pro-union.
