So 1 of 4 mentioned attributes (Corrupt, evil, crooked, lying) are arguable... as unprovable as God/Yahweh/etc... Evil. As a concept, evil in the eye of the beholder. She's voted for wars. Left Americans to die. Lied about the reasons WHILE the Americans were still alive and able to be rescued. Destroyed evidence - and other classified information - illegally stored on private servers. (continue list of "bad things" for another few thousand pages) You can rationalize her "evil" deeds or argue that "evil" doesn't exist till the cows come home but at the end of the day she cares about one thing: Her. Leaving out the argument of "evil"/"goodness" (which are subjective)... she's definitely corrupt and definitely not someone who should be the most powerful person in the most powerful country. Both candidates are fatally flawed - but one stands for Herself. The other stands for Americans.

I share your assessment about evil. It doesn't exist. Clinton is absolutely corrupt, and indeed corruption is unfortunately standard practice on K Street. As a practiced public official in America she does not shine out as an exception. We do not share the assessment of the 'other' candidate but I don't know how productive that conversation would be. For me, neither candidate are aligning themselves with a departure from the practices and policies of the state that are most critical to me and that I think are crucial to the next generation of Americans (hint: civil rights). I do not assess Clinton or Trump as reestablishing the propaganda protections that have been stripped of the legal code, neither are promising reductions in surveillance, support for whistleblowers, curtailment of illegal wars and actions overseas, reestablishment of checks and balances, and foreign policy that doesn't make a joke out of 'democracy', 'human rights' and 'civil society' by making them strategic and politicized terms. No thanks.
