Since this isn't my journal I'm somewhat hesitant to go on the rant I'd like to, but, 1st, I have not intention ofvoting for Trump or Clinton. 2d, for all the lesser evil HRC types, I don't see her as the lesser evil (this does not mean I'm voting for him or want him to win, so please save your breath on that one). She pretty obviously supports the TPP despite her current semi-disclaimers (I have nothing but insults to say to anyone who actually believes her temporary "it might need a couple of fixes" stance to indicate actual opposition, given both her personal) whereas opposition to this is one of the very, very few things Trump has NOT given conflicting statements on, afaik. I view this and its sibling treaties as being disasters on a scale with the Iraq invasion. Speaking of which, did you watch any of the US democratic debates? HRC sounds absolutely desperate to invade someone to prove how tough she is, and at the very least wants a public pissing contest w/Russia (hopefully this is all to keep idiots distracted from her helping dismantle the economy for 90% of us, and not because she actually wants to engage in brinksmanship with them, but I'm not sure). Idiot democratic tribalists like to paint Trump as the warmonger but she's the one who's actually been involved in plenty of past warmongering, and based on her SoS tenure has learned nothing from her "mistake" supporting the Iraq invasion (based on her SoS tenure, I'm unsure if she really believes this was a mistake). HRC has already done or advocated for most of the foreign policy stuff people are afraid of Trump doing.
And last but not least, you seem to have grossly misread my comment. I specifically said I'm all for avoiding the cliff dive to hell and extinguishment. I'm not dragging you over any cliff. Neither is anyone voting for Stein. Hillary is one of the people dragging you over a cliff and straight to hell, so is the vast majority of the Democratic party leadership, and if you don't see that, we literally have nothing to say to each other. Everyone in the mainstream leadership of both sides has been doing that for long time now, while trying to keep the masses at each other's throats over social issues while the already wealthy enrich themselves further at our expense.
Yes, the Republican rhetoric is delusional and quite often verging on flat-out insane, and they lie to their base for votes while acting, basically, as bloodsuckers for rich business interests.
But the Democrats, while having much better rhetoric, when in power, also lie to their base for votes while acting as bloodsuckers for rich business interests.
Which is worse? "Global warming doesn't exist, some people who aren't you are lazy scumbags, vote for me and your life will be better!" then destroying the planet and impoverishing its citizens, or "We must fight global warming & save the planet, and all join together in harmony!" and then destroying the planet and impoverishing its citizens?
