I agree, but that's what I feel people are doing by voting for Hillary. This "lesser of two evils" mentality is trite and asinine, I'd rather not use cliches but in this case there's nothing for it, it's literally people trying the same shit they've tried for years and expecting a different result. I think to vote for Hillary, whose record is shady whatever way you cut it up, just because you're scared of Trump is really worrying.
Instead, people could be coming together and voting for third parties, just to at least try something different.
No that is not what you'd be doing. You are thinking short term and quick fixes and unfortunately our McMedia long term is causing both parties voters to think in short term personality solutions. Reality in politics long term is much more mundane and boring. It isn't doomsday one bit at all, Trump would be though. Pick your battles, that change you want can happen but not by throwing away your vote. There will be more elections after she wins and you can still be a voice to other state politicians as well as her.
The system of checks and balances were not set up to create sudden changes, the founders didn't set everything up to value sudden coup. I think it was Churchill who said something like "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all others"....... Bernie wouldn't have ended up supporting her if he really thought she was going to be that dangerous.
