It probably does for some.
For me, I was excited for Hillary. Before Bernie. Learning all of the shady shit her PACs do when they think they might lose, the Wall St. speeches, the Clinton foundation... I could give a shit about the emails. I don't care.
She's not a great person, but I don't think she's much different from any other politician. When juxtaposed with Bernie, she's a huge let down. But it's a lot better than Trump. I was excited before, I don't think I can get excited now, but I can get motivated to take the best path.

Why waste the time and gas going to vote? It's widely known that they get elected by idiots who watch too much T.V. If more states would allow ballots by mail, the country would see far people voting. If you wanted to get over 80% percent of eligible voters to vote, the country would have to allow voters to vote online. We all know that will never happen for a very long time. Even though I have the means to get out and vote, I still would don't want too stand in line, deal with the weather, and have to deal with other people while in the process. You know they could do though, have a vote by phone system. I'm lazy and I'm proud of it.

Man, you shift goalposts and abandon your arguments like a pro. Every time I ask you a question, you start talking about something completely unrelated.
Are you sure you're not a theist?

I am quite sure I'm not a theist, I'm still suffering from being exposed to A Sarah Palin interview. I have been answering your questions while adding on to why those "asshats" keep getting into office.

An election cycle in which the goal is to make sure supporters of one candidate loathe the other one. It's certainly not about where she stands on the issues. It's her personal characteristics.
I am left to wonder if it has anything to do with her being female.
Yes it's exactly that. I hate her because she's a woman. It couldn't possibly be based on shitty voting choices as a senator, it's most definitely not because of who she takes money from, and it surely isn't because I saw her stand in front of the citizens of flint Michigan and tell them fracking isn't so bad. It's because she's a woman and I hate women.

Honestly, in a subtle manner, her gender does seem play a factor in general. A lot of male politicians are just as dishonest as she is, and they never get that much hate from people.
But the other problem is that she is also currently pitted against someone rather rare for a politician to be (integrity, honesty, consistency), namely Bernie Sanders. And this comparison hurts her badly because it shows people that even politicians can be even more decent than what they are used to, but Hillary (like most other politicians) could never measure up to that newfound expectation so she not only remains inferior to Bernie in favorability, but goes down because of the newly-emerging disillusionment, even if people do regardless tend to see her as a "better" politician.

She's quite crooked, it sickens me to see her donor lists. I do not understand why she's so popular, her voting record is terrible( http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/art...nders-hol/). She would make a terrible president, at this point it will tough to tell who be worse. I think Hillary would be almost be equal in terrible on the charts to Trump.
