The way I see it is that we know exactly what we are going to get from Hillary and it isn't good: Ms. Super Hawk and in bed with the banksters. She already lied to us once in regard to single payer universal healthcare. Trump is a bit of a wild card and I don't think anyone really knows what he is going to do outside of make life miserable for American Companies that move their operations or keep their operations overseas. That will translate to more jobs and higher wages (along with inflation) for many Americans. As for building a wall, I think he is nuts. He sounds like a Hawk too, but no worse than Hillary. And at least he'll make sure that the country the US is fighting for will pay the family of the dead Veteran a couple of Million dollars. When I look at the issues, I think he is better than Hillary, which is not saying much, but he is better IMO.

Hi Mannie, the following is rhetorical, I know you know all this stuff. Nice to see after so long.

We have to vote for the dem matter what. Don't think of it as voting for Hillary, think of it as voting for a tribe. Hillary, will bring in a huge number of competent women. I am a Bernie supporter for sure, but the fact that all the Democratic women in the Senate except for Warren, the best one of course, is supporting Hillary means we don't need to worry that much about her. And she will appoint center left people to the Supreme Court.

This country is divided right down the middle and there is a full-scale war going on. When we vote dem, or Republican we are voting for one tribe or the other. The Republicans vote and behave in lockstep, or rather goose step. That is why I'm a hard-core yellow dog Dem because if I'm not, then I weaken the only organization capable of standing up to the Republicans.

In my opinion though, the Republicans are simply the lackeys of the plutocrats. As you well know, the thesis of Bernie's campaign is that we are living in a plutocratic oligarchy. Only the Democratic party has the ability to challenge them. And there's only two parties and it is useless to vote for the person.
