7. I will also vote for Clinton in the general election. Does that equate me with Richard Armitage?

I don't know if Armitage is sane or rational, but I will state unequivocally that voting to keep Donald Trump out of the White House is the sane and rational thing to do for every voter who cares about our country.

I did not support Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary because of her vote for the Iraq war, her continued hawkishness, her ties to wall Street, and her neoliberalism in general. In fact, I often argued in this forum that anyone who voted to give GW Bush authority to invade Iraq -- including John Kerry and Joe Biden -- should have forfeited our support in a Democratic primary.

Richard Armitage is a despicable warmongering neocon.

I was on the streets protesting against the Iraq war before it was launched.

We're both voting for Hillary Clinton in the general election.

If you're going to paint a candidate with the sins or virtues of everyone who casts a ballot for them, you'd better have a lot of brushes and a very large supply of paint in just about every color imaginable.
