isidewith.com asks where you stand on varies issues and matches your position with those of major presidential candidates. My results follow. Note it claims I side with Hillary when Both Hillary and Bernie at a 96% match to my position. Note that Trump comes in dead last -- what a surprise.


I was at the doctor's once and got into a debate on political parties, voting, etc. with an older chap. He was quite right when he said that the average person if asked can't give a reason why they vote for whom they vote for. All they do is recycle television claims but ask them a deeper thought, one that might actually be independent of television influence, and you may as well expect to find humans walking on the sun. Because they can't have an independent thought. And no I always voted for X party isn't an independent thought.


So having just viewed Clinton's platform, and remembering the fact that not only was her husband an utterly useless sleazeball but it was said by many that she happened to steal silver-wear the from the White House, why are you voting for Clinton? A little beyond the recycling of television if you or others don't mind. And please don't say first female president, we have the first black president and he is more useless than Bill Clinton was. Fact that he won't call ISIS Islamic terrorists, when they themselves call themselves Islamic, is an insult to every single victim.

Because all she's promising is stuff done over & over & over again but guess what nothing is done as that's typical hot-air presidential promises [Sanders has almost the same thing].

If you are asking why I support Clinton, it's simple: she will appoint Supreme Court justices I can stand to live under for the next 20-25 years where Trump will appoint Supreme Court Justices who would make me have to leave the country.

... more useless than Bill Clinton was.

 
To be fair, BJ Clinton did manage to work with a fractured Congress (and hostile Speaker.)  That takes a fair bit of leadership and political acumen.  And, also to be fair, he was the last decent Republican president this country has seen.  :whis:
You have my sword
And my shield
And my... um... slacks.

Clinton 92%
Sanders 91%
Stein 89%
Johnson 62%
Trump 30%

Not American, and not really understanding the system over there either. I was hoping this would help with that. It didn't. :confused:

Because I would prefer to have someone in power who actually considers me a human being and also doesn't piss off Scotland with a single tweet while on their way there.

So what are your feelings on Brexit now that you have shown that you are quite the political scientist?
