    not because I'm a blind partisan but because both options are preferable to the three opposite front-runners right now. Yes, even Clinton. I don't actively like her, I just don't dislike her enough

I feel an analogy coming on.

  "What do you want for dessert, grasshoppers or tree bark?"

  "Uhh, neither?"

  "Not an option. You have to pick one."

  "Ok, just give me one randomly."

  "What‽ But tree bark is so much better than grasshoppers? It's crunchy, and doesn't squirm. Why wouldn't you pick the best one?"

  "But you can roast grasshoppers, and they're healthy. It's apathetic people like you who are ruining dessert!"

  "Look guys, I'm just trying to read my book over here. And not vomit."
