Hillary is the one who should be hanged for treason, and don't forget Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc.

The existence of Seattle makes Washington always a "blue state". So I will be casting my vote for Jill Stein. It's gonna go to Clinton with or without my vote due to the arcane electoral college which decides it all in the end. As far as local candidates and issues I will vote democratic. General presidential I will go green. I would really like to see the Green Party at least get around 10% finally.

Who has humiliated the Bush dynasty and is hitting the Clinton one hard. When it comes to decades of imperial fixity, I need very little in terms of personal grace when a wrecking ball appears.
I am not American and so view this election through a foreign policy lens exclusively. Hillary is running to Donald's right, and in line with the Bush era's policies. I have no right to comment on US domestic policy; my view relates to how America interacts with the world, mainly militarily.
For the record, I can certainly share Americans' concern, but as far as the world goes: less neocons plz.
(PS: pluralism is the great moral justification for neoliberalism. Those who hit it will likely come from a sphere in which this is less valued – see Brexit. If the empire is successfuly attacked from the right I will watch it shatter with glee and then contest the hopeful ruins. I am as anti-dynastic, anti-the present consensus, anti-Davos, anti-Nato, and anti-neocon as AD is anti-right wing, i.e., singlemindedly and near-tiresomely so.)
(PPS: history is not an endless binary choice between The Economist and 1939. The latter is the devil employed to scare us back to the former.)
