I like that personally.

I'm saying those things about Mike Pence, explaining my claim that he's misogynistic. I'm not claiming that CHL is--but I cannot take attacks on reproductive rights to that magnitude as anything but misogyny. A politician who has gone that far to infringe on the rights of women to make their own choices about their own reproductive rights is clearly convinced that women are incapable of those decisions.
Edit: OH, forgive me for misunderstanding. You meant that
Pence has said he supports women's right to choose.
Oh, okay. Sure he does. Literally every single thing he's actually
done in office flies completely in the face of that stance he supposedly has, but that would mean a politician
lied and we know only Hillary does that.

Supporting people you find to be terrible people and politicians because they have the right colour party badge?
My principles and morale stance on issues pale compared to the basic corrupting of politics. Holding your nose and voting for a corrupt soulless politician on the hope they may represent some of your views is something I'm not interested in doing. Nor do I care how the optics appear to be in your eyes.
On a side note, I don't think I've agreed with the captain before politically. This feels strange.

So instead you'll hold your nose and vote for a soulless corporate manchild who will clearly
not represent your views?
Trump isn't run by corporations, Trump just takes out the middleman. He
is the corporation. Do you really think he's going to battle for workers' rights, for increased wages? It'll affect his bottom line. Do you think he'll push for the wealthy to pay their fair share? That would cut into his fortune.
And on social issues, he'll likely back down and let his GOP buddies--all establishment types--take us back a few decades. He'll likely make poor SCOTUS choices which will affect the citizens of the US for the next 20-40+ years.
Sanders' campaign was a search for change with a distinct, progressive trajectory in mind. Change with a plan is a good idea. Change solely for the sake of change is not a good idea.
