<u+201c>why i won<u+2019>t vote for hillary clinton | evan edinger<u+201d> (but then he changes his mind on that) to close : evan edlinger will vote for hillary against trump because he thinks that whereas hillary<u+2019>s actual track-record of policies (not mere statements) in public office have been horrific, trump<u+2019>s bad statements and lack of any track-record in public office at all, make trump even worse. that<u+2019>s what he thinks. i think it makes trump better <u+2014> the better choice <u+2014> as opposed to the proven evil and catastrophically harmful public official, hillary clinton. edlinger is preferring an evil record as a public official, to no record as a public official. edlinger fails to make two crucial distinctions: one is that he fails to distinguish between mere political statements, versus actual political policies carried out as a public official (which show hillary to be a proven neocon and tool of wall street); and the other is his failing to distinguish between a bad record in a person<u+2019>s private or business affairs, versus a bad record as an actual public official. only the bad record as a public official should be absolutely disqualifying <u+2014> and that<u+2019>s clinton, not trump, who has a horrific record as a public official. trump has no record at all as a public official. edlinger at 1:30 in his video says that when he contemplates voting for hillary,<u+201d>there<u+2019>s always one thing that comes in the way, and that<u+2019>s trust.<u+201d> he says he doesn<u+2019>t trust her <u+2014> but what he doesn<u+2019>t actually <u+201c>trust<u+201d> is her words; when he says he<u+2019>ll vote for her, he<u+2019>s simply ignoring her actions, he<u+2019>s ignoring the real person-as-a-public-official, the person who is shown and displayed beyond any reasonable doubt whatsoever. proven selfishness in one<u+2019>s private life is bad, but proven selfishness and evil in one<u+2019>s public-office policies (such as <u+201c>we came, we saw, he died. ha, ha!<u+201d> ) is utterly disqualifying. i argued in my <u+201c>i<u+2019>m a bernie sanders voter: here<u+2019>s why i<u+2019>ll vote trump<u+201d> , that trump could possibly turn out to be a progressive president; but, even if he turns out to be a bad president, he won<u+2019>t, on balance, be as horrific as will a president hillary clinton. with trump, there is reason to have some hope for the future of the world; with clinton, there is reason to expect unprecedented horrors . about the author investigative historian eric zuesse is the author, most recently, of they<u+2019>re not even close: the democratic vs. republican economic records , 1910-2010, and of christ<u+2019>s ventriloquists: the event that created christianity . note: the greanville post editors have a clear position on this so-called election: if you must vote, vote green, for the jill stein, ajamu baraka ticket, as a protest vote. if that is not possible in your area, do not bother to vote, as all votes serve to legitimate a fraudulent process and the ongoing reign of the corporate/military/media complex. =subscribe today! nothing to lose, everything to gain.= free <u+2022> safe <u+2022> invaluable if you appreciate our articles, do the right thing and let us know by subscribing. it<u+2019>s free and it implies no obligation to you<u+2014> ever. we just want to have a way to reach our most loyal readers on important occasions when their input is necessary. in return you get our email newsletter compiling the best of the greanville post several times a week.
