Its funny too because in the podesta emails it clearly states that she still has the same opinion on gays and gay marriage, making it pretty clear that she is just pandering to them to get elected.
They don't say anything of the sort. "Clearly", lol.

I would argue that her personal opinion on gays doesn't matter one flying *** as long as they're treated equally under the law. That's sort of the point, isn't it?
Except that was never her viewpoint. Even now, when she is supposedly "open" to the LBGQ Alphabet soup, it comes when evidence shows that she has dual-opinions on everything.

It's very clear that her actual agenda is never for the betterment of society, but for her own personal gain. She makes outlandish promises with no real intent to fulfill them, and we are lucky enough to know this before she is elected. And yet, people will still vote for her thinking that she will do the things she admits that she won't do.

Because the other choice is even worse.

When you realize that that is the battlecry from both sides of a presidential election, and it keeps happening, you know that we are truly screwed.

I'm just sayin' is all.

It's like this endless cycle. Just accept that's how everyone who doesn't agree with you thinks at this point and move on.

Kinda what I'm saying.

Just most of us have settled in for an "well, at least (my candidate) doesn't do (whatever thing that really upsets me)."

Subjective. Really subjective.

The worse that people speak of when it comes to Trump is not stuff that is even with his reach to do as president.

Hillary has a lot more knowledge on her reach of power and has proven that she can manipulate things to get her will done. Trump will just be a buffoon who won't do much.

I'd much rather have a statement for a few years.

Denial. It's a powerful thing. You can't deny its existence without making it stronger.

The worst part is that the third party candidates are pretty ridiculous too.

Jill Stein and Evan Mcmullen are maybe the closest to sane choices we have? But that is stretching it.

It's almost like some people have differing opinions of what's okay and isn't.

Jill Stein is actually what Bernie's opposition imagined him to be. Some good ideas, but really *** clueless.

You know what would have been a good publicity stunt for Trump to do? Debate Jill Stein one-on-one. Nobody would leave Trump for Stein, and if she did well it might pull votes from Hillary. Win-win for him.

Honestly I think its stupid they didn't have Gary Johnson or her in the debates. Third party candidates will never gain traction if no one lets them.

Its hard to see anything clearly when you close your eyes before seeing it.
Thanks, Confucius.

There's nothing in the emails that "clearly" shows what you say. They're discussing strategy in expressing the platform. It's like they're running a campaign or something.

How is voting for a person who will do anything to get into the White House, be it through corruption, greed, and cronyism, while outright lying to the general public and committing national security breaches practically on a daily basis any worse than whatever Trump had said 11 years ago?

Don't ignore evidence that goes against your chosen one™ then.

But I fully expect a conniption fit pretty soon over this.

Trickle-down economics was a good idea that simply forgot about the greed of corporate owners making it a terrible failure.
Trickle-down economics is sort of the polar opposite of communism in that it works a hell of a lot better in theory than in practice, and they both fall apart because of human nature's greatest flaws.
My comment on trickle down economics:

Have you been trickled down on lately? Was it at least still warm?
