To be honest, I wish the American "empire" would fall. Not that way. But...unlike our founders, or the majority of our nation all along, I've never wanted my country to be an empire. Empires are part of the problem, just about every problem, not part of the solution.

And yes. It's been clear for a long time that a large block of the American people dislike Hillary Clinton a great deal. Perhaps you should be asking yourself why the party would set us up for Trump by running someone that so many dislike.

That said, I will certainly be voting against Trump, against fascism, against hate and fear. I sure as hell don't want Trump in the driver's seat of this already deeply dysfunctional empire.
