"I'm a victim of sexual abuse." "Here's why I'm voting for Trump."

But if we are talking about rape culture – Hillary Clinton has done MUCH more to contribute to that than Donald Trump. As an attorney, she has reduced the jail time of rapists. Actions like this have MUCH more of a ripple affect than the derogatory comments and actions of Donald Trump.

It's Clinton's fault for being a defense attorney! Ridiculous. One requires the person to have already committed (or been accused of committing) the crime. And requires someone to suspend the right to defend one's self against charges brought by the government. The other actively encourages those who are 'special' grab what they want. But ya, definitely the same thing.

because NEITHER is acceptable

Translation: Advocating to 'grab someone by the pussy' is the same as hiring a defense attorney.

We are WAY beyond voting for a President based on their character

I don't necessarily agree, but a point that many hold that can't be discounted.

...You can talk about how much you hate it all you want, but this is REALITY.

I know where we're going now...

Are racism and sexism HUGE issues in our country? YES. But how are those things resolved? Movements of people coming together. Different races and religions taking time to understand each other. Men learning how to stand up for their sisters and daughters and wives. And guess what? No matter WHO is in office, we can start doing that NOW. The government is not the answer to these issues. These have been issues in our country since day 1, and the MEDIA is much more responsible than the government.

Well one candidate actively promotes requiring certain religions to register in a database and 'report more' (even though they already do). Not to mention calling "some" Mexican's rapists, a Mexican-American judge unable to do his job due to his heritage, plenty of disparaging remarks about the disabled, etc. But somehow Trump will be able to reverse that course once elected to 'bring everyone together'? I smell BS.

That being said, these are what I believe are the real issues (in terms of the ELECTION).

Trump supporter talking points that there isn't enough time in the world to argue.

I URGE you to please look at the bigger picture. And above all else to vote. DO NOT STAY HOME. Face the reality of the 2 futures in front of us. Because honestly, voting for someone besides Trump or Hillary is as good as not voting at all. Not to mention, that if someone was spending millions to dig up dirt on them, I’m sure they would have skeletons in their closets too.

Yet the 30 year GOP funded smear campaign hasn't found Hillary advocating to grab guys by the dick... The worst they have is her husband lying about having an affair with an intern, "super shady" Foundation links, and some nothingburger emails. GOP needs to hire the DNC smear machine apparently.
