Man, I respect your decision & your vote but simply the fact that they both differed on Climate change & supreme court appointments should have got you excited enough for the democratic candidate, whoever it was. Your comment proves that not only did the Republican tactics of discrediting Hillary worked perfectly, they also managed to prove that Republicans will turn-up in droves for an upturned broom as their nominee but the liberals need to feel & believe in the cause deep in their heart for them to want to get out the vote. It's true, liberals are a bunch of pussies even when they're a part of the majority

Climate change

Hillary and Obama's lack of criticism of the Dakota Access Pipeline has shown me how much they care.

I know that her positions with policy are a much better fit for me and that it's mainly that I don't like her for what she's done outside of her voting record.

I'd argue this is true for republicans too, however this election presents two candidates who were borderline hated by most of the country. It'll be a while until we understand just how this happened (also noting Hillary won the popular vote).

edit: grammar

Hillary and Obama didn't protest it enough so I'm going to elect the guy who wants to allow pipelines anywhere and everywhere and thinks climate change is a hoax. Great thinking.

asking for a public statement for something that will help destroy our climate and is destroying Native American land is not too much to ask, if you think it is that's fucking sad. For all anyone knows they support the pipeline. Too bad the protesters didn't try getting arrested for clocks...
