Why in god's name would you vote for Hillary?
-
Anyone but Trump? General blind allegiance to a party rather than a politician? I've seen plenty of people saying 'i'm voting for whoever wins the nomination because we can't let the other guys in power!'
Also, a general feeling that things will continue on the same kind of track as they are currently. I don't think that's necessarily the case, but that's what she's trying to portray. Eight more years!

I can understand voting for Sanders someone agrees with his ideology. Intellectually I think those people should be bright enough to know that it isn't going to happen.
And frankly, even though I consider myself a right of center moderate, when I listen to Bernies speeches saying everyone can have all this wonderful stuff and all we have to do is Tax billionaire is a little bit more, it's hard to say it wouldn't be nice to take the path of least resistance.
But back to Hillary, what does she possibly have to offer?

Clinton born 10-26-1947. Will be 69 if elected
Sanders born 9-8-1941. Will be 75 if elected
Trump born 6-14-1946. Will be 70 if elected.
All are old. My main problem with Trump is that he doesn't look healthy. Neither does Clinton. Sanders looks healthier then both of them and is older.

Why won't it happen exactly? I mean, apart from being held up by people saying it won't happen.

also, your text to speech really fucked up the thread title...

Sanders looks healthiest? He looks like he's about to turn into dust and he had a Hernia already on the campaign trail.
Hillary wears a pound of makeup so it's hard to tell - Trump is a victim of too many tanning sessions throughout his life.
For a near-70 year old man though Trump moves pretty well - he's been doing like 3 rallies a day, interviews. The one time after a debate he did interviews after it for awhile - then flew to NH or one of the other states that was about to vote and did interviews on morning shows then a rally.
Seems like the guy has more energy than me, I'd assume it's not drugs because he's a loser who never drank, smoked, and eats steak well done.

One of the same reasons Trump won't get his way. We have a Senate and Congress here and I doubt that anybody is going to risk his funding by writing a bill that Sanders will sign.Why won't it happen exactly? I mean, apart from being held up by people saying it won't happen.
Imagine Bernie telling Congress he wants to quadruple (or much more) the taxes on the rich.
Or cut the defense budget by 70%.
Or Donald Trump telling Congress to get busy on that wall. You don't go socialist overnight Pal, it's the frog in the pot thing.

You obviously see things differently.

Yeah, I said a while back that there'd be endless executive orders, which is part of the problem of your democracy btw.

I think we all got that. In fact it took me a while to notice.

Not really - when you have a circle jerking congress that puts a bill to repeal one of your biggest accomplishments (obamacare) on your desk 150+ times what are you supposed to?
But executive orders can be overruled by the supreme court. They are supposed to be more of a "clarify the law" rather than "make a law" - some have been overturned by SCOTUS because of that.

So no one has a good reason to vote for her I guess. At least a few of you ( notably vapor and eds) were able to drum up good reasons to vote for trump

Her corrupt politicking happens to align more closely with my personal worldview, and social matters are more important to me than economic right now. But I'm fully aware that she's just another in a long line of 'say what you want to hear' politicians who only serve their backers, not voters.

I'm convinced that Clinton is more racist, more misogynistic than Trump. She opposed gay marriage until 2013, etc, etc.
Not that she's racist by normal definitions (neither is Trump), but by Salon-definitions she's definitely more racist
Trump has hired women executives forever ago when you were allowed to be sexist - and they all came out and said they loved working with him. While Hillary was shutting up Bill's sex assault victims and publicly shaming them
I'm just saying she's not very progressive on social issues.
-
I don't think she personally is, but she will do/say what is needed to get in power, same as most of the people running, and the things she needs to say to keep the democrat base happy (as opposed to the republican rhetoric of guns and abortion) match what I would expect.

Not to have to point it out but buggery is legal over here.
So many of us would rather fine tune the economy.
