A metaphor for my reasoning is such:
I have blocked arteries, and I am in danger because of it. The doctor tells me that he wants to perform surgery to fix it, but doing so will leave me weakened and in pain for a long time. It will be very unpleasant, and it's certainly not a perfect procedure, but it's the best they can do.
What options do I have?
1. Go for the surgery, accept the risks and deal with the aftereffects. (vote Democrat)
2. Do nothing and hope it magically gets better on my own. (vote for a doomed candidate or abstain)
3. Swallow buckets of lard, in the extremely dumb hope that doing a lot more of what caused my problem in the first place will somehow make it better (if this doesn't describe Republican policies in general, what does?)
That's why I'd vote for Hillary, even though she's obviously not my candidate of choice.
