RE: Why Do Trump Supporters Think Their Shit Doesn't Stink?
I was a Berner...but Sanders got edged out...the Democratic Party says Clinton is the ONLY one standing in the way of the Trump regime...If I thought for one minute that the Libertarians or the Greens stood a snowball's chance in h3ll of winning...I would switch...but Bernie opted for putting his planks in the Democratic Platform & urged us to vote for Clinton...Being an Anarchist I find both Parties lacking in depth...but The Revolution continues...
I didn't agree with a lot of the things Bernie said but I did know he was far better than Hillary, and yes likely Trump as well. I've followed his voting record on votesmart.org for quite a few years. He rightly referred to Hillary as being a criminal and ineligible earlier in his campaign. He was right. So when he endorsed her that was him endorsing someone that he knows is a criminal and ineligible. I cannot back that. He has had one serious job in his life. That has been as a politician. He should not have endorsed her. He didn't have to endorse anyone. That would have left his reputation untarnished, yet I will not support anyone that calls someone a criminal and then endorses the criminal, no matter how great the words they choose to use on the campaign sound.
He would have made a better president than Hillary. That might be true of many people. Random woman off the street would work.
EDIT: I am an Anarchist as well. Unfortunately that doesn't mean I can ignore what is going on around us. I suspect you agree with me. IF I vote in my case it'll likely be for Gary Johnson, though I think Jill Stein is a decent person and has some good ideas. Green Party endorses a few too many socialist type agendas for me personally, but she is not a bad person and does have good ideas.
