I kind of wonder why so many women support Trump when he clearly doesn't support women.

But then I remember that I live in the world where there are Rap artists who openly rap about having absolutely no respect for women... but whose album are predominately bought by women.

yes. because women are not allowed to think for themselves, must only vote for who the Identity decrees is best

Yup, and its not like there's any other aspect to their personality to appeal to other then the fact they have a vagina! That would be ludicrous!

I dunno in my view the reason it is rather bonkers is: "Yes, lets elect someone who has NO respect for us, or our opinion, and that way we are even further disenfranchised from the government"

He's said a bunch of sexist thing, but that's not the same as saying he doesn't respect no women ever. Frankly, on a lot of women's issues he's probably a step up from your regular republican candidate.

Not that that would exactly mean much. Still, he could be. Could be just about anything. Dunno, and couldn't be sure even if he's said something on it. Could change tomorrow. And the day after, and the day after, and...

Not that that would exactly mean much. Still, she could be. Clinton could be just about anything. Dunno, and couldn't be sure even if she's said something on it. Could change tomorrow. And the day after, and the day after, and...

You are joking, right?

I don't recall Clinton contradicting herself on a day-to-day basis.

[Frumple]

FTFY

No, no you didn't. Clinton is the Rock of Gibraltar encased in adamantine compared to Trump. She's actually been pretty consistent on her stated (and pursued, where relevant) policies over the years, whereas Trump... I'm still not entirely sure he knows what his policies are. Am entirely sure what he says on a lot of them monday ends up not being the same thing on tuesday. Clinton at least has the decency to take years before changing tacks (and even then, usually broadly in the same direction), most of the time.

Ask Clinton what day it is. Ask again the next, then repeat five more times.

Clear history of flip-flopping there, answering the same question seven different ways, all in the same week!

[sluissa]

She's more measured about her contradictions... mostly... day to day, maybe not, but certainly full of contradictions.
Just two off the top of my head:

"We're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of work." vs. Coal is here to stay.

And after the Benghazi attack she immediately took responsibility for it but as it remained in the news she started backing off and saying she didn't know anything about it prior.

So, basically "being a politician" then, yes?

[sluissa]

The point isn't to quibble over decimal points when you're measuring the difference between how bad each are. The point is they're both terrible options.

[mainiac]

No Clinton is an excellent option.  You just can't dare to say anything nice about anyone who doesn't agree with your politics.  And frankly you can't expect many career politicians to agree with someone who thinks the US is in a spiral of political repression and military junta.  Develop political opinions more sophisticated then I DONT LIKE THINGS AND ITS THEIR FAULT.  Or just vote Trump.  I mean the man has gone to such lengths to cater to your views.

[NullForceOmega]

Hillary sucks, Trump sucks, U.S. politics sucks.  I still say we should elect Optimus Prime.

And all I want from politicians is for them to actually act on some kind of principle, not pander to the voter to get elected then immediately sell out to corporate interests.

[Frumple]

Hey now. Corporatocracy is a principle, too.

[Flying Dice]

You say that as if they don't sell out the moment they start campaigning. The only difference is that some bother to make a slight effort to conceal the fact while they pander to the plebs.

[mainiac]

Yeah, sure that's what you want.  Poor little put upon you guys.
