What's worse - with attempts like social engineering (Correct The Record) on top of collusion with the media (and social networks - see discussions being censored on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc) and knowing how to game the system (through stuff like "paid speeches", quid pro quo favors, etc), she is alarmingly efficient at playing the system in her favor. If she is president, then after hearing the latest revelations, I am genuinely terrified at what controversies, criticisms, and mistakes she could wave away with her power, or what she could sweep under the rug with alarmingly ruthless and precise efficiency. The sad thing is, concerns like this are no longer just tin foil hat nonsense. Media/DNC/Clinton Collusion and Correct the Record makes into reality what should have been nothing more than braindead speculation and general idiocy from FOX News. What I hate about things like Correct the Record is that it stymies people being open minded to hearing information on the opposing side, as people now have to wonder if they are being socially engineered instead of just being able to take in new ideas and/or criticize those ideas at face value.

I fully recommend that everyone vote Hillary this election. Not because I have the least bit of respect for the lying, slimy scum of the earth she is, but because Trump is infinitely worse in every possible way and would likely damage America beyond repair, both directly and indirectly. The two third party options don't stand a chance in hell of winning, so don't throw away your vote. Unless you're looking forward to a bloody, horrific armed uprising, KKK/BLM lynch mobs and race riots in your near future, vote Hillary. Thank any and all gods I'm not an American.

[QUOTE=rilez;50775949]My vote in NY means literally less than dirt. I have the luxury to vote my conscience. I've had first hand experience with Hillary in our state. I was undecided going into the primaries. I did not like Hillary, but if she secured the nomination, and had ran a clean campaign, I was willing to vote for her. The DNC and HRC lost my vote through their own actions. To be frank, I dislike Trump just as much, if not more. Both candidates have been pretty pathetic this cycle, but Trump has that extra special layer of xenophobic, fear-mongering rhetoric thrown in. I understand the Sanders endorsement. I hope the Democrats can pull off a win, even if it's looking less likely every day. I just won't vote for them. Voting third party allows me to express my dissatisfaction with both candidates, while also making it clear that I don't support Trump's demagoguery. If that makes me ridiculous, I'm sorry.[/QUOTE] You are not ridiculous. The only thing I really can't take is Trump supporters or former Bernie supporters going for Trump. You're in NY so yeah vote for Stein or Johnson (well I still think going from Bernie to Johnson does not make THAT much sense but whatever). I'm in California so I could do the same thing, but I don't mind voting Hillary over Stein, personally.

Trump has lied nearly constantly this election - therefore, he is a liar. Trump has made several racist statements. Trump is a racist. Trump is extremely insecure in his masculinity and gets unreasonably angry when he is insulted - therefore, Trump is insecure and immature. Trump is the subject of a civil suit in which former students of his fake institution (that he had the temerity to call a "University") allege that they were ripped off. Therefore he is a shyster. I'm being perfectly mature and rational.

[QUOTE=Thlis;50776003]Fixed that for you there.[/QUOTE] Okay, let's add BLM AND KKK lynch mobs. In case you haven't noticed, the KKK has become active again lately, too.

[QUOTE=-nesto-;50776026]Source on the KKK doing anything? Last I checked its New Black Panther types causing issues nowadays[/QUOTE] As far as I've seen the KKK mostly have been sending out pamphlets and getting stabbed.
[QUOTE=archangel125;50776023]And Trump supporters, again, prove that they lack the intellectual capacity to understand the concept of 'irony'.[/QUOTE] I mean it goes from irony to instability when you post the same sort of doomsday prediction over and over again. Vaas would be proud.

Hillary is pretty shitty, but Trump literally advocates for the destruction of the global economy by starting 20th-century style tariff wars, the kind of thing that lead to the Great Depression. And that's ontop of his racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-intellectualism, immaturity, egotism, and generally terrible and regressive positions.
Also, if you doubt that there'll be race riots if Trump is elected, I urge you to take a closer look at what happened to the UK after Brexit - You had neo-nazis torching businesses and homes belonging to minorities - and that was only because a referendum championed by UKIP had passed. Imagine what would happen if they were elected. Or if Trump is elected in the USA. Know what the difference is? Americans have lots of guns and are bloodthirstier.

[QUOTE=Thlis;50776050]Take a look at the riots that happened in protest of Trump. This goes both ways.[/QUOTE] My point exactly. Both the KKK and BLM/Black Panthers are going to murder a lot of people if Trump is elected - The KKK emboldened by the fact an openly racist man is now president of the fucking USA, and the BLM in revenge. That is a promise.

I think that the KKK is more likely to become violent with Hillary as president but that does not mean voting for Trump is automatically the right choice and vice versa.

Or are you implying you're supposed to vote for whomever you think is a better showman?
