Hillary Clinton: Why you should vote for me

i don't expect anything really to change with her president, like a lot of people who buy into thinking there will be big positive changes with her in shes just better than donald tramp.

She's not stupid. She knows that if she even wants a remote chance of getting reelection in 2020, there's going to have to be some tangible results. So she'll pursue them - but whether Congress and broader machinations will allow her to achieve those goals remains to be seen.

Just age wise I don't see either doing two terms really.

people say this all the time but these people don't die early. they have the best medical professionals constantly.

hell. mccain is still alive and people said he wouldn't make it through 8 years.
 
There's a push for people to wear white tomorrow in support of women's suffrage. Since Trump would be President if not for women I will proudly wear white tomorrow. Let's send Hillary Clinton to the Whitehouse!

I would literally take a bowl of rotten eggs over Trump

Seriously

Every state event, every State of the Union, just a bowl of rotting eggs with a tiny US flag in them

Im not kidding

Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.

She will be appointing Supreme Court Judges that will be making huge decisions in the future.

I don't know if wearing all white is really appropriate when one of the candidates is a gigantic racist supported by the KKK...

What about Republican obstructionism?

If the Dems can take the Senate or at least even it up, the GOP will be unable to obstruct. It's looking more and more likely the senate will become majority Democratic after tomorrow. At least long enough to appoint justices and get some things done.

Just judges. With a republican house nothing is getting done. Tea party needs to burn.

I like how Trump's letter is almost entirely about how terrible Hillary is, so vote Trump. Meanwhile, Hillary barely even mentions his candy ass.

I feel like 9/10 Hillary commercials/ads are entirely about Trump and how terrible he is. Don't know who pays for or gives the ok for those but it's not like advertising for either candidate has been very positive.

It's not like Trump has put forward policies one could criticize that aren't "_____ will be great"

Well gee that all sounds like a nice well-shined piece of textbook pandering bullshit of which about 5-10% miiight actually happen...

But the alternative is worse, so unfortunately, Hilary it is. Yay.

which honestly is how politics should be to begin with. I'm so exhausted with all the hate mongering and bashing that apparently qualifies as politics as opposed to focusing on what the issues are and how they are going to improve the lives of the entire country.

if your entire campaign is doing nothing but shit talking you can go fuck off. this goes for any demographic or political party.

honestly, if he won, i don't think he would've made it. or he'd look worse than emperor palpatine by now

job adds about 5-10 "human years" by the time your finished. may not kill you but the stressors put the body through a grinder

Citizens United... I don't see it happening until there are 60 democrats in the Senate. And even then, that may not be enough. There probably shouldn't be any money thrown at politicians, but honestly, I don't see that happening in my lifetime.

I can see justice reform and immigration reform happen... eventually.

The spending bill for infrastructure and etc? No way.

Sorry for being so cynical... but the right isn't so moderate so its hard to see that spending bill happening.
No way in gods name that immigration is changing anytime soon. That will be gridlocked harder than gun control is currently. IMHO I can actually see citizens United getting overturned if democrats can get enough public pressure on the republicans. How could they win their seats in congress if they don't vote for the amendment? It's career suicide to not vote for it imho.

Sure but it's important to remember one candidate is actually fucking terrible. As in, unprecedented levels of saying terrible things and evidence of him being a terrible person. He is objectively terrible. And since people have cited those things about him as reasons they won't vote for him, there's no reason not to push those ads. They're not running just to try and call a candidate terrible for the sake of running a negative ad.

Climate change is an urgent threat and a defining challenge of our time. It threatens our economy, our national security, and our children’s health and futures. We can tackle it by making America the world’s clean energy superpower and creating millions of good-paying jobs, taking bold steps to slash carbon pollution at home and around the world, and ensuring no Americans are left out or left behind as we rapidly build a clean energy economy.
On day one, Hillary Clinton will set bold, national goals that will be achieved within 10 years of taking office:

Generate enough renewable energy to power every home in America, with half a billion solar panels installed by the end of Hillary’s first term.
Cut energy waste in American homes, schools, hospitals and offices by a third and make American manufacturing the cleanest and most efficient in the world.
Reduce American oil consumption by a third through cleaner fuels and more efficient cars, boilers, ships, and trucks.

Hillary’s plan will deliver on the pledge President Obama made at the Paris climate conference—without relying on climate deniers in Congress to pass new legislation. She will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 30 percent in 2025 relative to 2005 levels and put the country on a path to cut emissions more than 80 percent by 2050.
As president, Hillary will:

Defend, implement, and extend smart pollution and efficiency standards, including the Clean Power Plan and standards for cars, trucks, and appliances that are already helping clean our air, save families money, and fight climate change.
Launch a $60 billion Clean Energy Challenge to partner with states, cities, and rural communities to cut carbon pollution and expand clean energy, including for low-income families. Read the fact sheet here.
Invest in clean energy infrastructure, innovation, manufacturing and workforce development to make the U.S. economy more competitive and create good-paying jobs and careers. Read the fact sheet here.
Ensure safe and responsible energy production. As we transition to a clean energy economy, we must ensure that the fossil fuel production taking place today is safe and responsible and that areas too sensitive for energy production are taken off the table. Read the fact sheet here.
Reform leasing and expand clean energy production on public lands and waters tenfold within a decade.
Cut the billions of wasteful tax subsidies oil and gas companies have enjoyed for too long and invest in clean energy.
Cut methane emissions across the economy and put in place strong standards for reducing leaks from both new and existing sources.
Revitalize coal communities by supporting locally driven priorities and make them an engine of U.S. economic growth in the 21st century, as they have been for generations. Read the fact sheet here.
Make environmental justice and climate justice central priorities by setting bold national goals to eliminate lead poisoning within five years, clean up the more than 450,000 toxic brownfield sites across the country, expand solar and energy efficiency solutions in low-income communities, and create an Environmental and Climate Justice Task Force. Read the fact sheet here.
Promote conservation and collaborative stewardship. Hillary will keep public lands public, strengthen protections for our natural and cultural resources, increase access to parks and public lands for all Americans, as well as harness the immense economic potential they offer through expanded renewable energy production, a high quality of life, and a thriving outdoor economy. Read the fact sheet here.

Is it just me, or is this one of the first times we've seen something from either party/candidate on renewable energy?

Apologies if I've missed something, but I'm sure nothing was mentioned at all during the debates and I haven't noticed any talk of the subject elsewhere.

Edit: I guess Condom wrote something about it and quickly backed away from it.

And PS. I'm not in/from the US, so ignorance is my excuse for missing anything :)

Trump doesn't believe in Global Warming. Thinks it's a chinese conspiracy. Hillary mentioned that in the debates. Because of that there's not much to say on the issue. The choice is literally between a global warming denier and someone who isn't.

Hillary has spoken about it on the trail at length numerous times.

Climate change seemed to be more of a primaries thing, since Bernie and Hillary discussed how far the country should go. Hillary ended up putting the full plan in her site, since I think last year, maybe?

The thing is that there's so much shit being thrown in this election that climate change seems to be a secondary issue.

Ah, true. Had almost completely forgotten about that.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
She's my only barely viable option. Shes shady as fuck and a good number of her supporters are bullying pieces of shut. The way the DNC has run this election, particularly the primaries has been demoralizing. Even with all this, shes far better than anything the GOP has offered which includes there tire-yard-fire of a nominee. Clinton for all my gripes is a better candidate and person than Trump. My problem with supporters and DNC aside, I hope she can win me over in the next four years and becomes someone I can trust.

I feel like she can just say "Look at the other guy!" and be done with it, lol.

That her opponent is Donald Trump must have been a great blessing to her.

I absolutely hate having to vote for her. She's awful, as are many of her obnoxious supporters.

But the other side is Trump. I would have been fine not voting with a Romney or McCain.
 
I wouldn't be so sure about that; unless she does a colossally shit job as president, she's going to have a pretty strong advantage running for reelection since it seems to favor sitting presidents.

Theres only been one single term president in the last 35 years (Bush 1), which was likely a freak occurrence due to Ross Perot siphoning off Republican votes which allowed Bill Clinton to win.

This is so terribly sad now.
