Showing Original Post only (View all)Questions I'd like answered from Hillary Supporters.... [View all]
I'm not here to cause flaming or incite arguments but I would like to understand where Hillary supporters come from ideology-wise. All I'm going to do is list a couple of the biggest issues for me regarding Clinton's policies followed by a question:
1. I've heard her mention once or twice that she wants to overturn citizens united but she doesn't sound terribly concerned. Is that one of the top priorities for her supporters?
2. Hillary has mentioned her desire to take out Assad in Syria. As history shows, removing a dictator opens a vacuum in the region which could open up another avenue for ISIS. Do Hillary supporters agree or disagree with this policy?
3. Hillary Clinton is on the record supporting fracking, coal mining, and oil companies. To me, it doesn't seem like she is very serious about combating climate change. Is there something I am missing that her supporters know?
4. Hillary has stated that taking money from big financial companies isn't a sign that she will bend to their will. But we call out people like Ted Cruz whose wife worked for Goldman Sachs. Is it fair to blame one person but not another for the same issue? (I'm in no way a Ted Cruz supporter, just using him as an example).
5. Lastly, Hillary is currently under FBI investigation. It is real. There is a big perception issue regarding this investigation as if it's not happening. Are Hillary supporters worried that she may be indicted before or after November and do they consider the ramifications for choosing a presidential candidate who is under criminal investigation?
