I hate the whole concept of voting "against" someone rather than voting "for" someone. We need to be voting against all of the dirty special interest money into our political process. I would never vote for Trump, but that doesn't mean HRC has my vote. In fact, she doesn't. I remember the race baiting campaign she ran against Barack in 2008 and that was enough for me.

Most of them are from the authoritarian right. Most of them would support Mussolini's corporate fascism. Trump is far less a fascist than say, Cheney or Kissinger.

Until he sets up a group of Brown Shirts or Black Shirts to terrorize opponents, this alarmism is foolish.

It's not alarmism and it's not foolish. To claim that Donald Trump poses no more of a fascist threat than most Republicans, on the other hand, well, that strikes me as foolish.

having failed to help working people. The perception of high unemployment and a flailing economy are harbingers of extreme right-wing governments.

I don't see Hillary considering this danger.
