HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL: The Bernie Sanders voters who would choose Trump over Clinton

175. I'm well aware of that website

and the problems it contains. They compile data that is generated from quite a few sources, including statements "on the issues" from Hillary's own website. They draw quite a bit of information from platforms, which is hollow information. I talk about it quite a bit with students, who like yourself, think the website and others like it are infallible.

You need to keep in mind where the data is drawn from. Are voting records valuable? Absolutely. How about quotes? Well it depends on context and timeframe--most are hollow. Remember: we're talking about politicians here. Sure, she can say we need to cut back on fossil fuels and take climate change seriously. This website can post that, and people will say she's pro-environment. But does the site mention all her campaign contributions from energy interests? Of course not. Do energy interests invest money because they want more* regulation? Of course not.

How about foreign policy? They take more quotes from her website and other sources, and assume that's all there is to the story. But does that tell the story? Of course not. She can talk about trying to "aid and balance" Honduras, and they'll post that information. What they won't post is the fact her actions supported and legitimized a military coup that has resulted in the death of hundreds, and the displacement of thousands.

My point here is things go quite a bit deeper than some simple website that compiles incomplete information, much of which is compiled from her* website.

As for your silly little "I've been here longer so you better respect me" comments and tattle-tale threats, I can't really help. You are who you are. But you might want to consider the fact that internet forum "seniority" should never be used as a source of self-esteem. Run along and tattle if it makes you feel better, makes no difference to me.
