Because I am not partisan, this is not a two wrongs make a right question for me. I just look at the career and life of Hillary and I can understand why a lot of people don't take to her and don't take to the persona that she presents. It will be very interesting to see what she does with the ultimate power if she gets it.
Precisely the point everyone here is making. You "just look at the career and life of Hillary." Why not TRUMP'S?
And while looking at that "career and life of Hillary" apparently much of her work and the Clinton Foundation's work on behalf of children is conveniently OVERLOOKED, as opposed to the Trump Foundation and HIS work on behalf of...... WHO? Other than himself?
The sad thing is, it isn't just the trump foundation that needs a bit of a look. I'm reading stories about cuba, gas lighting, him purposefully discriminating against black people in his early days, being sued left and right. I'm even reading about his fortunes dropping like rock. There are women out there who can't even watch the guy because his debate style/way of being in general reminds them of exs who psychologically and physically abused them. Not to mention people his whole entire tax shenanigans.
More and more hillary history isn't looking so bad. Then again you'd have to be a certain type of person to notice that.
Even IF, by ANY rationale, Clinton can be said to be equally as corrupt as Trump, one STILL cannot escape the reality of each candidate's CONSTITUENCY, each candidate's PARTY (and their respective ideology), each party's PLATFORM, and what each candidate has stated she or he stands for, will do, and WANTS to do.
So if it's all the same to those so-called "not really interested in U.S. politics, problems, et al" who manage to have a lot to say about it ANYWAY,
I'd just as soon NOT have a bigoted, xenophobic, misogynistic blow hard, who speaks of banning Muslims, building a wall to keep out Mexicans, and instituting nationwide STOP AND FRISK policies on minorities, while simultaneously abandoning NATO allies, deregulating big business, and cutting taxes for those wealthy fkrs who, theoretically, MIGHT allow SOME of that wealth to trickle (as in piss) down their fkng legs to the REST of us "minions"..... thankee very much.
I agree. You also forgot, someone who evades taxes, makes deals across america laws, casually talks about killing innocent people, is in bed with people from other countries and generally has the skin thickness of wet tissue.![]()
Yes all of that too.
In the minds of conservatives, tacit supporters of Trump, and those of like ilk, Clinton's handling of emails, and innuendos as to how contributors to the Clinton Foundation may have personally benefited, somehow equate to Trump's stiffing of people who've worked for him, his discrimination against black tenants, his seminars and "university" that failed to deliver what was promised, his questionable charitable contributions, and all the rest. It's a form of equivocation on their part for the purposes of making Clinton out to be equally as deplorable as Trump. She is NOT.
The False Equivalence of Clinton and Trump’s Negatives
And IF she were, the difference is, Hillary hasn't run or risen to contention for the presidency by riding upon the slithery back of divisive, hate based, bigoted RHETORIC.
To SOME people, that doesn't matter. They'd sooner question Democrats for the selection of Clinton than question and scrutinize how the F***** they chose a demagogue like Trump. WE know how. He said all the nasty shit THEY'VE been saying and believing for QUITE A WHILE, that's how.
As I've noted before, voters in Louisiana once had to make a choice between what was locally billed as "the klansman or the crook" in a governor's race.
For MOST of us the decision wasn't even CLOSE.
And here's yet ANOTHER excellent example of what TRUMP'S constituency is made of:
US paper facing threats for endorsing Hillary Clinton
from the above:
"A conservative Arizona newspaper is facing death threats and losing subscriptions after it broke with tradition by endorsing Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump for US president..."
"The...Arizona Republic, the state's largest newspaper, announced in an editorial on Tuesday that it is backing a Democrat for the first time since it was founded in 1890..."
"The paper's editorial board said that while Clinton did not lack flaws, she was also the "superior choice" by far."
"...the editors had expected blowback and did not regret its decision. Despite the threats against the Arizona Republic, its editorial board feels "very good" about endorsing Clinton..."
"USA Today set another precedent on Thursday, when its editorial board took a side in a presidential race for the first time in its 34-year history..."
"Publishing scathing criticism of Trump, the national paper urged readers to oppose a candidate it said is "dangerous" and "unfit for the presidency." It went on to call him "erratic," "ill-equipped," "reckless," someone with a "checkered" business past, and a "serial liar... Authoritarian and dangerous..."
Precisely ...............
The USAToday Editorial is scathing...
USA TODAY's Editorial Board: Trump is 'unfit for the presidency'
Wow... When USA TODAY, the K-Mart of journalism, comes out to denounce Trump, that isn't only scathing, it's a public indictment.
A/B
Precisely nothing. The thread title is quite simply, "Why does Hillary Clinton suck?"
That is the simple question. It is not, even if Hillary does or doesn't suck, does she suck less than Trump?
I don't share your aggressive controlling ego.
^ Whatever... So, you would rather have them support Trump, then? The "alternatives" to either, on the ballot, are nothing to give me any hope.
I'm voting for Hillary but I am not whipped up in the frenzy that the DNC and media are ginning up. Hillary was a marginal senator, an AWFUL secretary of state... the worst secretary of state in my lifetime... she destabilized a good portion of the world and that destabilization led to thousands and thousands of deaths in Syria, Libya and Ukraine. Cackling over the death of Gaddafi when he was being tortured to death shows that she is a HATEFUL woman who has a lump of coal where her heart should be.
If she hadn't had such a hard on to oust Assad from power and install a Saudi Arabian caliphate... THERE WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN A SYRIAN CIVIL WAR... THERE WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN A REFUGEE CRISIS... THOUSANDS OF MOTHERS WOULD HAVE THEIR CHILDREN ALIVE TODAY IF IT WASN'T FOR CLINTON'S ZEAL FOR REGIME CHANGE.
That seems like an extreme representation of the options here... you either support Clinton like a sycophant or support Trump like a sycophant? Those are the only two fucking choices?
Why can't people just see these candidates for who they are and not try and worship them like demigods?
... (and on and on)
