Why don't we all vote for Gary Johnson?

Aaahh the gold standard of anecdotal evidence. If I told you that I know plenty of Trump supporters that I've never heard a bigoted word from and several local Democrats who I have? What then? These people feel much more comfortable with Clinton than Obama because she is that old white Southern slave owner type. She's certainly no threat to the racists still in the Democratic party, if anything she is just another good old white boy Republican of years past.

lol, i wasnt offering my experience as anecdotal evidence, i just have the opposite experience as oriz so i thought it worth mentioning. i wasn't attempting to prove that bigotry is a characteristic of trump fans exclusively. now, your 'these people' comment is a joke, right? a democrat that is more comfortable with hillary than obama might just be a republican, i'll give you that.?

Or go to any social media platform and look at Trump supporters and their TL or wall.

Yeah ok that still doesn't answer my question.You said EVERY supporter you talk to. You must come across some crappy people.

I actually don't know that many...a few in VT, and the 2 I mentioned in WI. None of them racist, most would have taken Bernie first, but NOT Clinton.

Even out of those that I know that support either Trump or Clinton, not a single one actually likes either of them.

Anecdote, n. - what one takes to counteract poisonous words.

A libertarian is nothing more than a right wing extremist without a moral compass. No thanks. Hillary is the only visible option

Just curious how you get "right wing extremist" out of a Libertarian?

You look awfully lonely down in that left hand corner Val. I would think a person with no doors would have much more company.

*shrugs* I was kind of surprised myself when this one told me he would have taken Sanders because I KNOW for a fact he is very far from being a socialist. These are some weird elections, for sure.

Libertarian = right wing on economic/fiscal etc, left wing socially.
