She's all of the worst parts of Obama amplified and all the best parts muted. It's like Democrats don't even realize that the coalition that stood strongest behind her were the same Dems that prevented Obama from making progress on stuff that may endanger Republicans with D's next to their names.

I think the answer is kind of obvious. I think a couple people have pointed out the real danger of Trump isn't him winning, it's him inciting something among his supporters as a result of losing. Trump's made it pretty clear he wouldn't actually do any of the work of the president and Pence would basically be his Cheney. Trump isn't what's scary, it's the America that nominated him that scares me, they aren't going anywhere win or lose.

Because my conscience is the thing that prevents me from doing self-serving shit at the risk of other people. What risks to "other people" are you imagining come with a Johnson or Stein administration? I know the reality of what Clinton's choices did to countless families and I'm not seeing that from either of them. | ||

And you think vulnerable people in society wouldn't suffer from Pence being president instead of Clinton? You see no distinction there? | ||

The Robocop parody continues. ![[image loading]](http://thehill.com/sites/default/files/blogs/piersonbullet.png) I am glad that the GOP has picked an nominee that reminds us that assassinations of his opponents are possible and always a threat. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This election blows. Clinton is corruption personified. Trump's rhetoric is so over the top it's as if he's bored and not even trying to win. Johnson is just another in the long line of naive globalists. What's an independent to do? | ||

I think vulnerable people in society are f'd this election. I guarantee that the top 1% (more specifically the top .01%) will continue to get a larger share of wealth and power under either of those two. Fracking (and the associated environmental damage) will continue to get worse, racist policing will continue to get worse, other forms of environmental racism will continue to get worse,Israel/Palestine conflict will get worse, the other middle east/north Africa conflicts will continue to get worse, the list goes on. People justifying their vote for Hillary by claiming "it's the best choice for the oppressed" are lying to themselves. | ||

Outside of the context of Trump winning (this was presupposing he doesn't have a chance) the "lesser evil" argument falls apart. Hillary needs Trump to be the only alternative, if he's not the prime alternative, her entire campaign needs redirecting. On August 10 2016 08:46 On_Slaught wrote: Because his partner was just assassinated and he would obviously follow her wishes to honor her memory? She's also a "proud moderate", where are people getting these visions of hyper liberal judges from? No one thinks Hillary is to the left of Obama on pretty much anything, why would she go any more liberal than the judge her husband nominated originally and Obama has put up for the Supreme Court? | ||

That's a good point, it wouldn't even make logical sense, so I won't take it all so seriously. | ||
