Re: I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.

Not for the people who lose their jobs.
Same criticism I hear from Trump voters. Hillary's a globalist. Jobs will disappear!

The real reason is that if we're going to make any progress on the issues facing us - including all of the one's you've highlighted today - we need to elect someone who cares about them (or at least pretends to) and not someone who is backed by the party that explicit wants to keep things how they are or make them worse.
I get that.

Seriously, you say Hillary doesn't mean the things she says so she's no different than the party that says and acts like it is actively harmful to the things you care about.
Placating something with lip service is worse than being against it. With the former, you never get to the necessary battle of ideas.

I didn't want Bernie to be the nominee because I didn't (and still don't) think he could win and I think he'd be a uniquely ineffective president even if he could (see his record in congress). But if we were picking a leader who could magically implement all of his policies, I'd have to think long and hard about Bernie vs. Hillary.
That's a very honorable position. And one I've heard from very few people.
