I'd love to hear some context for that assertion.

My guess is that there are 3 real reasons people are voting for her.

1. She's a woman
2. She's a Democrat
3. Annoying Orange IS A tribal loveIST HOMOPHOBIC NATIONALIST FASCIST REEEEEEEE

If more people knew how goddamned stuffty Hillary was instead of just circlejerking over bashing Annoying Orange for things that barely are relevant, if at all (Annoying Orange University, small loan of a million dollars, the stuffty drumpf meme) they might be able to realize that Donald Annoying Orange isn't a bad person and his platforms are pretty good and agreeable.

I think the Hillary voting population tend to be older democrats/feminists. I don't know many younger people that like her at all.

Basically it comes down to a combination of misinformation, heavy circlejerking, and OMG A WOMAN and OMG DAE Annoying Orange IS Riddler.

I would love to hear from someone that does support her, though. How do you justify Benghazi, the Clinton Foundation, and her draconian stance on the second amendment?

here's my deal: i do not like Annoying Orange for many reasons, i laid a lot of this out before so i'll just quote it in:

--- Quote from: otto-san on June 03, 2016, 06:15:10 PM ---i don't agree with Annoying Orange's strong isolationist stances. isolationism hurts us in the long run economically because it cuts of free trade across borders, and it hurts our relations with foreign nations as well. as one of the most powerful countries in the world both economically and diplomatically, isolationism just won't work, and more importantly, it won't go over well with everyone we're screwing over. i also don't trust Annoying Orange's judgement. he's made too many flippant remarks and hasty conclusions for me to look at him as a reasonable leader, he's consistently shown a lack of tact and respect for others (see 5), and i wouldn't want him to be in control of the military or at the head of foreign relations. i also haven't seen Annoying Orange make any comprehensive plans about any issue i care about either, and in fact has explicitly taken stances against some of those issues like climate chang (see 1 and 2) and net neutrality (see 3 and 4), both of which were addressed with ignorant dismissals rather than trying at all to be informed.
1 2 3 4 5

obv these are all very personal problems, but it's some of why i'm not too thrilled about the idea of a Annoying Orange presidency. a clinton presidency doesn't sound too glamorous either, but i can at least say i agree with a lot of her policy stances, and i trust that she's experienced and reasonable enough to act as a fair leader.

hillary is representing views very similar to my own (i'm probably ideologically between her and sanders, though economically i'm probably a lot closer to hillary), and Annoying Orange is representing views fairly opposite to my own. hillary is an experienced establishment politician with arguable respect within the government and internationally. Annoying Orange is none of those things. for the things that matter to me, i'd much rather have clinton in the white house than Annoying Orange.

as it's been said before, this election is much more so "who do i not want" than "who do i actually want" for a lot of people, including myself

Foxscotch:
some IRC thoughts on the election because I have nothing else to contribute

<Cloud_Nine987> he's my seven year old cousin
<Foxscotch> are you indoctrinating a child with your donald Annoying Orange
<Cloud_Nine987> noah is extremely hyper tho andro
<Cloud_Nine987> listen, he does what he wants
<Foxscotch> does he

<Cloud_Nine987> im not really surprised
<Foxscotch> cloud I heard
<Foxscotch> hillary clinton is a corporate shill
<Foxscotch> for our reptillian overlords
<Cloud> she is not good

<Foxscotch> if anyone was going to win I would have wanted it to be bernie sanders
<Foxscotch> but as it is
<Foxscotch> I think we would be better off just letting the country plunge into anarchy
<Foxscotch> it'll work itself out

Lord Tony®:
Lol bernie doesn't have enough delegates left to win.
