I'm a Bernie supporter but a lot of these are arguable and shouldn't be floated.
I had to edit things down... Some stuff guy lost.

- Takes millions in speaking fees from Wall Street while pretending to speak for the little people
Speaking fees are paid engagements. They're not policy positions. For all we know she talked about cookie recipes while wearing a fright wig. Those speeches really shouldn't be factored into her political life. They're paid engagements with a purpose aside from garnering votes or expressing personal opinions.
- Transmitted classified intelligence over unsecured channels...
She probably sends thousands of emails a month. If she sent a few from the wrong email address that may be an honest mistake. Without seeing the body of the text, the context, we don't know. This point assumes the very worst.
- ... then joked during a press conference about wiping her server clean "with a cloth or something" 1
Who cares about a joke?
- ... and laughs off everything she doesn't want to talk about in general 1
Yeah, good for her. She laughs at reporters asking leading questions who engage in yellow journalism. Good for her.
- ... including when she was asked by a reporter whether she would release the transcript from her paid speeches at Goldman Sachs 1
The speeches are irrelevant as they're probably motivational in nature. The reporter wants them in order to use them out of context. That's laughable.
- Offered a Vermont newspapers off the record anti-Sanders tips
Yeah, this is bullshit political maneuvering.
- Lies about her opponent's health care program
More bullshit political maneuvering. Another point against her.
- Is said, by an ex Wall Street trader with 20 years of experience, to have turned the Democratic Party "from a party against Wall Street to a party of Wall Street"
I'm not happy about this either.
- Sends her daughter to lie about her opponent's health care program
This just repeats the point above.
- ... and to speak to NYC fundraisers hosted by Wall Street bankers, where attendees can "pay $2700 for a picture" with her
Wall Street likes her better than Sanders. Watch who they back in the General Election.
- Has a son-in-law who is an ex Goldman Sachs investment banker and hedgefund co-founder 1
Oh Christ, are we really claiming that she whored her daughter out to Wall Street like it's GoT?
- Voted for the invasion of Iraq 1
Yep. Unprincipled cunt. A big reason I won't vote for her.
- Voted for the PATRIOT Act
(Unprincipled cunt)*2
- Voted for the 2006 renewal of the PATRIOT Act
(Unprincipled cunt)*3
- Questions her older opponent's health while she was hospitalized for a concussion and a blood clot 3 years ago
A concussion and a blood clot are generally different issues from overall health. That said, she is being ageist.
- Voted for the 2001 Bankruptcy Legislation which would have made it harder for struggling Americans to declare bankruptcy, after expressing her opposition to the bill when she was First Lady
(Unprincipled cunt)*4 though she probably did this in a horse trade.
- Believed that marriage was defined as between a man and woman and reversed her position only in 2013 when it became politically convenient
Maybe she has strong personal opinions about this and needed to change her mind or accede to the will of the people. Either way I think I like someone who's flexible on social issues and can change her mind to be more open.
- Received millions in shady donations for her foundation while she was Secretary of State...
I don't know enough about this.
- ... the same foundation whose donors got weapons deals when she was Secretary of State
Oh. Shit. (Unprincipled cunt)*4
- Makes her fans wait hours for a five-minute speech...
Bullshit news. Campaigns are busy. Some appearances can get delayed and then she has to get moving on.
- ... while she gives closed doors fundraisers for rich donors
And this is a bullshit point. If they were back to back then that would be one thing and even then not very important.
- Is the first presidential candidate in History to be under investigation by the FBI during a campaign
'Nuff said.
- Pretends to speak for the black community when she campaigned for Barry Goldwater back in the '60s, who was fighting against civil rights
Seriously? That was 50 years ago. Imagine that she's changed her opinion on something since then. She's also changed political affiliations since then and even married a Democrat.
- Led a legislative campaign against video games in 2005, by pushing for the Family Entertainment Protection Act, which would have criminalized the sale of games rated "Mature" or "Adults Only" to minors, arguing that "violent video games are stealing the innocence of our children"
Yeah, I can't see how some people keep getting behind this crap. Tipper Gore did the same sort of shit in the 80's and we got "Parental Advisory" stickers. Then we got V-Chips and ratings stamps on TV shows. All bullshit though I know parents who use them.
- Doesn't support clemency for Edward Snowden
Neither does Obama or most of the population.
- Wants a "Manhattan Project" to break encryption and force tech companies to plant backdoors in their products
Someone really needs to explain this stuff to her. Can someone prep an ELI5 on encryption for politicians?
- Praised the repeal of Glass-Steagall 1
OK, OK, she's a Wall Street shill. Conceded.
- Supported the TPP
(Unprincipled cunt)*4
- Opposes a carbon tax
(Unprincipled cunt)*5
- Took donations from federally registered lobbyists or PACs for private prison companies until October 2015 1
Shit. (Unprincipled cunt)*6.
Originally supported the Keystone pipeline, and now says "no comment"
Clinton Slams Sanders' Free College Idea By Invoking Donald Trump's Kids 1
On Marijuana, Hillary Clinton Sides with Big Pharma and gets more money from them than any other candidate 1 and despite naming the pharmaceutical industry as one of her greatest "enemies", has received more money from drug companies than any other candidate 2 3 4
This may be a social issue that she will change position on. Still, she's on the wrong side for now.
- No Reporters Allowed At Hillary’s Wall Street Speeches 1
They're private, paid events.
- Hillary reverses Single-Payer position after getting $13 Million from Health Industry, now she says it will "never, ever come to pass" 1
(Unprincipled cunt)*7
My point is that a lot of these complaints are the same one reformed over and over. A lot are pretty valid. And one gets completely forgotten.
Alberto Gonzales. Alberto Gonzales was involved in creating the justification for the use of torture at black sites to extract information from prisoners. Later, with this known, Hillary Clinton voted to confirm him as Attorney General of the United States of America. That's the main reason I won't vote for Hillary. She may change her mind, she may be an insider, a power broker, marginally corrupt.
She's unprincipled and uncourageous.
She voted for the Iraq War. She didn't need to. No Democrat needed to. They could have abstained en masse and let the Republicans have their terrible adventure in the desert.
She voted for the Patriot Act and the reauthorization. Authoritarian cunt.
And finally, most importantly, she voted to make a man who arvocated torture, who had no respect for human rights, Attorney General of the USA. (Unprincipled cunt)100
