(814 posts)trump is a douchebag and a clown and has questionable ethics. he is dangerous on the social issues and some of the economic issues. clinton has ethics issues too and is way too corporatist for my taste. she is dangerous on some of the economic issues as well. and she is also dangerous when it comes to foreign policy and war.
trying to get us progressives to express a distinction between the two is like expecting us to pick between maybe having a border wall come to fruition, or women losing the right to choose, versus more war and regime change or never getting the 1% to pay their share of the taxes and watching the middle class continue to decline into poverty.
nope, i say it's a distinction without a difference. degrees of awfulness does not a convicing argument make. i wouldn't vote for either of them for dog catcher.
i will say this for the donald though... he's got the right ideas on trade and on war, two of my biggest pet issues. but i don't vote for repugs. ever.
