The irony in your statement is that it's pretty much impossible to tell which candidate those voters you're referring to supported.

- glhaynes 10y agoClinton speaking against torture because it's ineffective even though Salon (and I!) would have preferred she'd publicly made the case against it for additional reasons doesn't make it any harder to figure out which candidate one should vote for if they want industry to write regulations, the executive branch to torture people, and the rich to pay even less in taxes. False equivalence is fun until, say, the 2000 or 2016 elections happen.
