What's promised is not what'll be done. By way of example, you seriously think she's going to make good on her pledge not to push thru TPP? Hell, she's even been promising free college to hoodwink the Bernie voters.
Her promises are worth about as much as Trump's boasts about his wealth. You know it, I know it... 60% of people who view her as utterly untrustworthy know it.
Justice reform will get no traction because convicts have no power. Domestic spying will worsen because, "Hey. I'm not going to have Putin pull this shit on me again in 2020!" And because she's hawk. Demilitarization of police? Not a chance. That's a Libertarian issue, for crazy folks like Rand Paul. No votes there.
And where she's really going to fuck her followers but good is on global warming. The mother of all pivots on the Keystone Pipeline is coming.
I could go on, but the reality is, I should love Hillary. She's about as close to a moderate Republican as we can get. I can't figure out why so many GOPers hate her. But that's their problem, not mine. Life won't change much for me, or you, or most of everyone we know, on November 9th. And Trump wouldn't fix any of the things I listed above anymore than would Hillary.
So, why should I care? Because some twits are silly enough to believe we lack adequate checks and balances to keep Trump from starting a war? (Nevermind he's isolationist, and Hillary is nearly a neocon.) Because some crazy right wingers believe her election will be the end of the United States? (Wjatever the hell that means.)
You're all full of shit and hysterical about nothing. The Republic will go on, and the only real scandal in all of this is just how little things will differ between him taking control and her taking control. But go on... argue about the superficial issues. About whose emails are illegal, who's a sexist, who screwed up Benghazi, and who's a tax dodger... Have your little arguments. Your silly, frivolous little arguments, wherein you get to pretend you still live in a true democratic Republic, and your vote matters.
