I'm not saying Trump is the better choice either. I would almost say don't vote at all, but I wouldn't go that far. In 2008 I couldn't vote for McCain or Obama so I vote for a random 3rd party candidate.
But back to my original question, "How in the hell can you vote for Hillary"? If you were in the military in the 90s, "How the hell can you vote for Hillary"?
When Bill was president, Hillary tried hard to implement universal health care in America. That automatically gives her brownie points with me.
I haven't seen anything truly horrible about her actually proven.
Besmirching rape victim - horrible, but that was literally her job as a defense attorney. Based on their posts here, I suspect that very few people lambasting her for this are interested in a system where the victims have more power accusing their attackers.
Benghazi - cleared by the fucking Republicans, one of whom admitted it was a political ploy against her. Also, the Benghazi commission was longer than the 9/11 commission, which should make people shake their heads.
Saudi money - this was something I was holding against her, but
@Madmick provided convincing articles that there is literally no evidence for this. Please provide if you have it.
Clinton Foundation accepting money - shady as fuck from what I've read, but nothing has been proven, which counts for a lot in this insane political atmosphere where people are literally accusing her of orchestrating the shooting deaths of 12 cops to cover up her email scandal.
Email scandal - the last I read on this, the classified material was not classified when she shared it. I have since read that some of it was classfied, but I don't know if this is true because, you know, crazy assholes telling lies. It looks like she used an email server she wasn't supposed to and deleted emails / lied when people looked into it, but this is not a situation unique to her. Many politicians are using insecure emails and it seems to me to be a larger problem that needs to be addressed rather than trying to make an example out of one person. For instance, Jeb Bush also used his own server for sensitive government info and deleted emails when asked to provide them.
Lying about being shot at by snipers - shitty. All politicians lie. Not happy about this, but it's not a dealbreaker.
Her ties with wall street - not sure what's crazy allegations and what's true. She's probably going to be easier on crooked commercial interests than I would like, but the only two possible candidates I think would come down on them hard are Sanders and Warren, so this is pretty much a non-issue if it's a matter of comparison.
Attacking her husband's rape victims - I don't know if any of this is true. The little I've read about this suggests it's coming from GOP crazy town, the same people who think the moment liberals take away their guns is the moment that everyone is going into camps.
If anyone feels like providing articles to the contrary, please do, but keep the crazy to a minimum.
