Logical

Yes, I'm with her. I will be voting for Hilary Clinton, no question. She's been First Lady, Senator, Secretary of State. She cares about women and children and every other citizen, or potential citizen. She's intelligent and hard working and capable. That's really all there is to it.

A vote for anyone but her in this system is a vote for the abusive, bullying blusterfuck. Abstaining is another vote for that weaselbrained neo-fascist. Libertarians are a joke. An earnest, well intentioned, folk-singer-songwriter with an acoustic guitar sincere, joke.

Is she perfect? Exciting? No, so? We are not voting for a messiah, we are voting for an administrator. She will be a fine administrator. She will get progressive judges on the Supreme Court that will have an effect for another generation or more.

She's solid. She's sane. She'll do.

I just hope the quarreling, nitpicking liberals don't shoot us all in the foot, sacrificing good on the altar of perfect. As a devoutly liberal, dyedinthewool feminist myself, I'm saying this.

With me, all the Star Trek folk.

I can see your point ... the other one is terrifying .
You'd occasionally get a mini-Trump in our playgroup and it was always interesting to see which children sided with him and which avoided him like the plague .

pc,
Sing it, sister.

S&S,
There is some powerful psychology behind that. Kids who want protection, so they wind up behind the biggest bully, even if they clearly don't like him/her. Appeasing the angriest god. Very fear-based.

Prost! I raise my glass with you!

Watching from up north, we're all pretty much hoping Trump goes the way of the dodo.

Is it evil I hope he goes the way of Nicolae Ceaușescu?

Yes, I'm sure it is, but then, well.
