I Hate Politics

I think politics is one of the most divisive human acts. Let's face it - all politicians tell people what they want to hear then disappoint their adherents a few months or years after they've been in office. What's more ridiculous is getting all excited over a possible woman president. Who cares male or female, black or white, gay or straight? Let the person most qualified be elected. If you vote for that HELLARY CLINTON just because she's a woman, you're the exact type that should NOT be voting!!

No, Hilary and Trump are not equally awful. She has actually done positive things and shown governing acumen whereas he is a disaster on every front except self promotion. To suggest that they are equivalent is intellectually lazy at best and dishonest at worst. We do not possess a parliamentary system of government so any votes for a third party candidate will be utterly wasted, and given the fact that the right wing has maintained a good record of voting discipline regardless of personal enthusiasm for the candidate, you can be sure that they will vote as a bloc for Trump. What this means is that every moderate, liberal, progressive or similarly aligned voter who throws away their vote on a Jill Stein or other candidate other than Hilary Clinton will be tipping the scales in favor of a dangerous, hateful incompetent demogouge becoming the next, and invariably most damaging, American president.
