In reply to the discussion: Those who would not vote for Hillary in the GE, have you taken a good look at the Big-Picture? [View all]northernsouthern
(1,511 posts)You think trying to hold people's votes hostage by threatening to remove a few more liberties from them matters when we know she will too. Hillary has people in the prison industry lobbying for her, she is highly militaristic, or police force got their weapons from an out of control military spending culture. She has shown that she always helps out her donors. She has shown she cares little for the workers, she worked for Walmart for Christie's sake. The advantage of a vote for an independent is that we may finally get one, polls are indicating they may have enough support to beat both candidates...but they could also break the hold of the NCs and make them finally represent the people again. Heck even Bernie could win with a large enough write-in. I am not saying how to vote, but the idea that people that are in the DU have not thought through the idea of not voting for a Dem is ludicrous. Also police state is a very weak argument, the more common HRC goto is the supreme court.
