It is admittedly subjective, but not morally bankrupt. I took the time to study history and see who was hurting people and who was helping people. I like the people that helped people and not the people that hurt people.

Look at the politics in this country over the last hundred years. Virtually every program to help the poor was put forth by the Democrats and fought against by the Republicans.

Republicans just gave us Richard Nixon, one of the most horrible men that ever lived, followed by Reagan who carried water for the rich, busted unions, lowered taxes on the rich and raised taxes on the poor by taxing Social Security.

Then the Republicans gave us little George Bush who dragged this country through the mud for eight years, caused the deaths and injury of hundreds of thousands of people, the displacement of millions of people and caused hell on earth in the middle east, and almost brought down the entire world's financial system.

And now the Republicans give us Trump. None of those above people would've gotten to first base in the Democratic Party because they're all terrible human beings. in fact none of the Republican presidential nominees would have gotten to first base because they are all flawed.

I do not like terrible human beings. I don't like racists, or bigots. I don't think those are good people. Call that crazy if you want.
