Ladies, vote 3rd Party if you can't stomach HRC, the legacy you will leave for you children by voting for Trump is downright shameful.
Another option is to abstain from voting in the presidential but voting in the down ballot categories.
what surprises me is most of the people I know voting for Trump are diehard Republicans because they are pro-life and anti-LGBTQ equality. We seem to have very few of those ladies on this board (really only like 2-3 that I can recall that have spoken up about it). I am curious if the 29 women voting Trump fall into that category or if it's other fucked up reasons like the AE above.

I know very few people who have openly admitted plans to vote for Trump, but none are pro-life or anti-LGBTQ equality. The most vocal Trump supporter I know personally is gay (and married), but has jumped onto the "Hillary is a shady liar, but Trump speaks the truth band wagon." The rest are rich people who admit that Trump is an asshole if pushed, but will vote for him because taxes.
I just had a 3rd evangelical friend come out in support for Johnson on FB. All three are in OK/AR so the states will go for Trump, but I'm glad they aren't voting for him.
What on earth makes you think Bernie would have done better? He couldn't even be bothered to TALK to the Congressional Black Caucus to hear their concerns! I feel like you're moving the goalpost on her constantly.
And status quo isn't good enough. But it's better than going backwards. Those are your two choices down here on earth. Voting for a third party will not change that - only one of those two things is going to happen. Clinton or Trump. Whomever wins will need to be pushed to do better. You really think Trump will listen more? Please.
Didn't Bernie give BLM the podium to speak? Did he shhh, or be dismissive to people who questioned him? Does he have decades of blatantly not giving a FUCK, and backtracking regarding people of color?
Where am I moving goal post? How is can asking HRC to truly give a fuck about POC something even akin to moving a goal post?
I'm not talking Trump. I want to know from her and her supporters, who is pushing HRC to do better on this front?
I would ask any candidate the same fucking thing, given the climate.
At least she's not Hitler is a weak assed platform, here on earth, and it sucks to have to wind up in the #GirlIguessImwithher segment of the population.
I think you're right that no one is pushing her to do better from the inside.
I'm not sure how many changes can be made on race issues at the national level. Which isn't to say it shouldn't be on the national agenda. But I personally am advocating for police reform at the local level and feel like my voice is so much stronger in local politics. And there are actionable issues at the local level my alderman is voting on right now.
