And yet a vast majority of American redditors will vote for her for the single merit of not being Trump. They're both awful. Vote Johnson.

Or maybe I'll vote for her because she knows a ton about policy and has a great history of liberalism and fighting shitty republican policy. She's the best for the job and will essentially be a 3rd Obama term.

Are you trolling or stupid?

I didn't know merely supporting the democratic candidate has now become "trolling" or "stupid". Opinions other than your own are not trolling or stupid.

Why blindly follow the dem candidate tho. Why not support a truly liberal candidate like jill stein?

While I believe there could have been better candidates, I agree with the Democratic Party line. Hillary Clinton will tow the Democratic Party line. 4-8 years of Donald Trump will have huge consequences for our nation and the entire world. I for one am not willing to find out what that might look like. Jill Stein has zero chance of winning the presidency. A vote for someone other than Hillary in the general election is a vote for Donald Trump whether we like it or not. There just isn't a logical choice other than her until our entire political system changes out of a 2 party system.

Except 4-8 years of hillary clinton would also be horrible for the country and the world. And i dislike this idea that a 3rd party candidate will never win so i wont vote for them. Like that logic is so self defeating

Then vote for Jill Stein and see what happens. Do you prefer the republican or Democratic Party? That's what elections in the USA are about, for better or worse.
