I am going to keep this short because I know these days everyone is very tired of all the politics. Though, no one can say this election is usual, by any standard.
As an over-arch, let me state that the biggest malaise of American politics is that the attribute of "likability" ( or more perversely, "dislikability") has become the gold standard for whether someone deserves (or does not deserve) your vote. That is a terrible criterion. You don't have to like them; you need to have the person in charge who gives us the best chance for success - and the least chance of catastrophic failure. Having said that, and admitting that we are faced with two "unlikable" candidates, this is exactly why I will vote for Hillary. And it's not close.
1) Regardless of left or right, there is only one candidate who has a very high probability of steering the ship directly into the rocks, and it is not Hillary Clinton. And I do not have to explain this assertion. I could try, but I will not insult you by explaining it. You know I am right.
2) If we elect Trump, it will embolden and reinforce some of the worst America has to offer: Racism, Misogyny, and Xenophobia (and then some but I want to keep this short). If you think today that the alt-right is coming out of the closet (so to speak), just wait until Trump wins. If you don't fear that element becoming even more emboldened and main streamed, you are not paying attention.
Yes, I have more reasons, but if you planning to vote for Trump, I figure my other reasons don't matter to you. And if neither of the above do, it says more about you than it does about Hillary Clinton.
