Unless you're a 100% pacifist you believe in the use of some violence in some situations. The question then is just how much, and with what standards of proof / need.
Hillary associates with many of the people involved in faking evidence of WMDs. And has refused many calls to label them war criminals. That should make her unacceptable.
Trump associates with many hate groups. That should make him unacceptable.

You do realize that there can be only one president and most of the game isn't picking the one you want, but the one you think can beat the one the other guys elect?
There's no way the USA would elect someone like Bernie because he doesn't look like he'd push the button. Especially when he has to go up against Trump who is itching to.
> Do you believe that Sanders has a realistic change of changing American politics for the better?
America needs voting reform. The Trump/Hillary nonsense taking over the country for two years of every four is most of the problem.
But no, a minority candidate will never win. The system is very good at assuring that, so ultimately any nuanced political discussion is meaningless.
