Basically, if you support Hillary Clinton for president (whether enthusiastically or resignedly), then you're a person who has lost all sense of perspective.
It doesn't matter that a race-baiting, sexist, megalomaniac con-man named Donald Trump is her likeliest opponent.
I would say that what the Left should do is to "fight" either of these monsters once they're elected, but the Left doesn't know how to fight so it's pointless. Regardless, despite the threat of Trump, it's still insufficient for committing the act of moral failure of voting for Hillary Clinton.
Trump's supporters come from the racist, stupid portion of the majority of society who have been suffering grievously under neo-liberalism. Hillary Clinton isn't going to make things better for them. She's going to continue the policies that have screwed all of us over and this is just going to make the racist rubes rallying for Trump even angrier.
What's needed is a president who will lead in constructing policies that will benefit the majority; White, Black, Brown, ...
A vote for Hillary is a vote for more wars. Guaranteed. A vote for Hillary is an endorsement of the murderous coup in Honduras.
A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for Wall Street.
There's not enough "less" in the "lesser evilism" of candidate Hillary.
Again: The Left should fight back against whomever of these monsters win. But the Left can't fight. But at least the Left shouldn't vote for their own oppression.
