I'm encouraging all my BernieBro friends to join me in voting for Gary Johnson.  Or at least vote for Jill Stein.

So you really do want Trump to be our next president.

No.  I don't want Hillary to be our next president.

What's the difference?

Good God, have you actually become Hillary??

You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. :cheers:

I am just curious: we have already seen the Clintons at work for eight years 1993-2001. They seemed like they did alright. So why the desperate need to stop them? I mean just like then you have your Republican controlled legislature in place.

All of the Trump voters I know are doing quite well-- making more money than I do, anyway.

Good for them.

Anyway Yi, I happen to agree with the esteemed Susan Sarandon that Hillary is more dangerous than Trump.

I have asked you many times why you feel this way and you never say why. So I guess you don't agree that much. Again for something devastatingly dangerous we already did it and it was fine. So why is it that this time it is radically dangerous?

I was just noting that the Trump voters I know don't fit the "poor white people" demographic claimed by the article.

I'd vote for a woman in a heartbeat if I agreed with her politics.  Joni Ernst seems like she'd do a good job, for example.

How do you describe a feeling?

I have to say I'm getting quite an uneasy feeling.  It's one thing for Putin to mess with countries half the globe away, but it seems like now he has a chance to rather radically affect the politics of US.  Yes, he would not have an opening if the American public was not in the midst of a bitter culture war, but it is quite frightening nonetheless to have Putin meddle in our elections.

Point taken :P

Why do you think that way? I mean they are a pretty centrist bunch of Democrats. I wouldn't think anything they wanted would be super different than what most centrist Republicans would want. Yet you almost seem to prefer the politics of the radical left. Why? It makes no sense to me.

I was making a "What difference does it make?" joke. 

Anyway, why should I tell you why I oppose Hillary?  It's not like I'll change your mind.

The Clintons have been demonized for almost 25 years.  That feeling doesn't go away in an instant just because a disaster of a candidate shows up on the other side.
