I know, right? I saw this thread and thought, "Okay, maybe someone is finally going to lay out some legitimate, substantive reasons to get behind Hillary," and all we get is a bunch of bare assertions written by someone who used to be an adviser for her!

It's the kind of thing that's only convincing to the already convinced.

Meh, you'd be surprised at my political views. Not as right-wing as you're trying to portray me as. I didn't even say I supported Trump anyway.

It's Atheist forums, if you are right of Chairman Mao you are suddenly some sort of right wing, Trumpite.

Most of my criticisms of Hillary are from positions I'm to the left of her on, like foreign policy.

Is it truly that difficult to disagree with someone without being disagreeable?

To suggest you can't support something because you're not allowed to vote for it or live in that particular country is just fucking ridiculous.

Fair enough, I suppose you could give Trump supporters moral support.Would that be meta-support?

Given them a decent education might be more useful though.

Indeed I could.

But I don't.

Perhaps you could try it, then? It'd raise the level of discourse, no?

Being an asshole suits me.
