Nope, my problems with Hillary are almost a mirror opposite of my problems with trump..though there is -some- overlap. I did, though, think that it made them collaboraters. I said as much repeatedly. Not in any holocaust 2.0...since she wasn't calling for that like your boy was, but in the steadily swilring political game that's created the conditions required for a trumpkin to play hitler and -not- be immediately disqualified by the voter base unanimously.
I wasn't speaking for you on ethics, just in general. Is it selfish or noble to stand for one's principles when their are practical consequences for others.

Well, Hillary was all in on the prison thing back in the day with that crime bill and super predator stuff. And she likes bombing brown people (Libya). And Bill was the one ratcheted up the border detention centers. She was against gay marriage for political purpose in 2008. They said Barack only won SC because he was black back in '08.
If you think jails are concentration camps, Hillary helped put a shit load of black people in concentration camps. And if you think bombing and killing a bunch of muslims unnecessarily like they did in Libya and Iraq and going bonkers with drone strikes is in the ball park of genocide, it'd definitely seem Hitler vs. Hitler'ish.
I feel like maybe we are closer on all this after all. I wouldn't describe either of them as "Like Hitler" but now that I know you thought she was so bad, you'd rather not vote for her even with Trump as the Repub, than vote for her, I think my voting for Trump could be more understandable, in that I also thought it was really bad vs really bad.

I disagree on that front.
I fucked up assuming that there was an flaw in your logic by assuming you weren't applying the Hitler likeness stuff in a non-partisan way. That was my mistake.
I think your conclusions are really paranoid, but it seems to be rooted in something consistent enough to me.
