That's at least more logically consistent. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 14/07/2017 10:42:08 AM

I don't know why you're attempting to tell me all the wretched behind-the-scenes dealings of Clinton and her campaign, as though I'm some sort of fan of her or of the Democrats at large.

Clinton is a toxic and unrepentant neoliberal who is roughly as terrible regarding criminal justice as her husband, and had the GOP nominee been anyone other than Trump it is very likely I would have refused to vote for her on principle. I wouldn't look too deeply into my choosing pragmatism over idealism here.

And I certainly wouldn't use either Clinton as some example of an erstwhile now-fallen paragon. They're both slimy.
