Hintin’ it’s not Clinton

Iโ€™ll be glad when this election is over, no matter the outcome. Tired of hearing about it. Tired of witnessing formerly-sane people descend into terror and nostalgic fantasy.

I donโ€™t support Trump, Clinton or Sanders โ€” but I fundamentally canโ€™t understand anyone who supports Clinton. What a terrible choice for the country, for progressivism, for feminism, for the world.

I can understand supporters of Trump, though I disagree with them. I can understand Sanders supporters, because I mostly agree with them (though not as much with their candidate).

But I canโ€™t understand โ€” will never understand โ€” their apologies and excuses for Hillary Clintonโ€™s mendacity, corruption and terrible leadership skills. Her policies will be destructive to the nation and the interests of the US. Trump has a way with words โ€” or at least short phrases โ€” and โ€œCrooked Hillaryโ€ is perhaps the most apt political slur ever.

Clinton might arguably be the lesser evil, but sheโ€™s still damn evil indeed. She wonโ€™t be president (itโ€™ll be Trump because the electoral college favors him) but that she could be is a terrible fact of American political life.
