I'm deeply saddened that so many people I look up to and admire, publicly support Clinton. People like Brian Cardarella, DHH, Zed, Katz, Tom Dale... Even pg, for some reason! https://twitter.com/paulg/status/786511993855352833 https://twitter.com/paulg/status/786511993855352833 "These people are so smart, how can they be so blind?" Then I start second guessing myself, "maybe I'm the one who's wrong here?" But the closer we get to election day the more it becomes clear that Clinton _is_ a poor choice and has successfully framed a great choice for president as a "racist mysoginist xolyphone polymorphy demoagog facist archanite." So now I ask, "why do they still support her"? Edit: This was flagged, I vouched for it. Nothing controversial about it. It's black and white.

> Clinton _is_ a poor choice I agree, but the other choices are even worse.

  It could have been Bernie if Podesta's email had been spear-phished earlier [1], before the DNC was able to backstab Bernie [2].

Not particularly controversial, this partisan, out-of-context trash simply doesn't belong on Hacker News. Why? Because it's pretty obvious that the faux neutrality that comes with these Clinton smears is to distract us from the alternative, which happens to be a racist, misogynistic, Islamophobic bigot named Drumpf. Yeah, we get it a lot of old white guys are angry they can't treat women, People of Color, etc. like trash anymore. Too fucking bad. You're done, it's not your country and whether you like it or not the millions of brown people you hate are not going home.
