She supported some of the things Trump wanted i agree with you but at the same time she was more for fracking TPP etc.
Dude.

Pulling out of TPP will be one of the worst mistakes America makes foreign/trade policy wise in a long time. It was a shitty deal, and we needed to not sign it as is, but right now China is negotiating a massive trade deal in the South Pacific without us in the way. Killing TPP was a populist, terrible idea. Amending it before it was signed would have been a smart move. Hillary said she was going to kill TPP, but even if she was lying as you somehow need her to be, signing the deal as it is right now would be far far far far preferable to not being involved in the deal at all. No matter what America does manufacturing-wise, we are going to be buying electrical components/chips from overseas.

I don't know why I get into these conversations with you. You are so monumentally misinformed, I just feel like someone has to say at least something to you in the hopes that something, anything, slips through. You literally are the equivalent of the "evolution is just a theory" creationist in that you have heard why you're just fucking objectively wrong a thousand times, but you just stick to your guns. Nothing, nothing about the liberal agenda or Hillary's platform supports this ignorant ass shit you just made up here. The equivocation here is just atrocious. Hillary would not have appointed a climate change denier to head the EPA. She would not have okayed the Keystone Pipeline, she would not have allowed coal plants to dump refuse into water supplies. She would not have rolled back the requirement that in order to sell cars in the US in 2025, you had to meet a 54.5 mpg fleet average. Hillary repeatedly said on the campaign trail that Climate change was the most important issue affecting our future. You are just pitifully ignorant.

no one should have a child here and expect a top of the line education it was shitty and all they did was make it shittier there is better education in other countries.
So your attitude is, "it's broken, so fuck it?" Allow federal dollars to go to religious schools because "choice." Take money away from schools that are struggling and need it and give it to schools that are already doing well? You think Hillary would appoint a billionaire über evangelical who has never set foot in a private school to head the DOE?
I think you just need to justify why you and people like you handed this country over to our dear leader and the Republicans because you know you fucked up. Your head is just too far up your own ass to admit that you make shit up to make it okay.
Don't bring that bullshit in here.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
