First off, let's get one thing straight. Donald Trump is the most disgusting Presidential canidate and just generally one of the worst human beings I have ever seen. I agree with absolutely nothing about him, and I will be voting for Hillary in November.
However, maybe it's because Trump has gone so far off the deep end, but it seems like any bad-talk about Hillary around here anymore is immediately brutally swarmed and stomped into oblivion. To the point to where it's almost like the person that said something bad about her is supporting Trump automatically.
I agree with a lot of what Hillary is preaching, but at the same time, I'm not going to sit here and lie and say I love her. I don't. There are things about her I simply don't like.
I grew up in a Republican household, and while I consider myself I guess a Democrat at this point (I really just vote for who I want, and that happens to be Democrats since I've been able to vote), that craving for a canidate "you can go grab a beer with" still resides with me to a certain extent, and that might have been from my raising.
I felt that with Obama. I don't feel that with Hillary. I generally don't really care for her charisma, although she does surprise me sometimes. I don't like the way she answers certain questions. And I think everything involving her emails was just really fucking stupid, no matter how played out it is, and I don't like her answers to the concerns people have with them either.
But I also do agree with her general point of view, and look forward to seeing her do work in the White House. I think once she's in there and actually gets down to it, my feelings for her, one way or the other, will be more clear.
However, if feelings like this are ever expressed around here about her at this point, posters will jump down your throat quicker than you can even say "but...". I've seen some legitimately brutal things. People that have said moderately aggressive things about her, and immediately getting a page full of replies of people saying "Hillary is a better person than you'll ever be" pretty much.
That's what makes this country great. These people running to run OUR country SHOULD be picked apart and inspected. Just because Hillary is obviously far, far superior than Drumpf could ever hope to be, she still has problems to certain people, and those people shouldn't be attacked for expressing that. Even if her political prowess is outstanding and may overide nearly every issue you could possibly have with her, it may not for some, like me. I'm no political expert by any means, and that may be the reason why I feel this way about her. But I'm voting, and my opinions on here matter just as much. As do anyone else that is voting and may have issues with her.
Hell, to be honest, if there are legitimate Trump supporters here, I wouldn't even mind seeing them from time to time just so I can pick their brain. No matter how much you may disagree with them (and boy, do I fucking disagree), that's what drives this country. Too bad Trump's so far gone though and has brought his supporters further and further along with him that I imagine most Trump supporters would be saying shit that would get them banned.
Jesus what a shitshow this election has been.
EDIT : I don't literally mean that like mods don't allow this or anything, didn't mean to confuse anyone or try to attack any mods. I meant the general atmosphere here implies this to me.

You can criticize Hillary all you want after the election. The main and only end goal right now is to make people vote for her.
It's as simple as that.
And I think this is where a lot of this comes from.
To a certain extent, I totally agree. Trump cannot win. Period. I've even been on my girlfriend's case lately about voting because she's no planning to, telling her that every single vote matters when it comes to beating Trump (although maybe not as much after these most recent polls, lawl).
But at the same time, I feel like this mindset has really shut down a lot of standard discussion about the candidates themselves. It pretty much just comes down to "Trump is a fucking monster so vote for Hillary". The more that mindset has become stronger and stronger, the more resistant people have become to any sort of criticism towards her whatsoever. Whether it's something personal or legitimate.
Once again, damn this election is a shit show. It's pretty much made us forget what an election should be about, and has made it more of a battle of good vs. evil in many people's eyes. Even mine to a certain extent. But the "good" should never be above criticism.
