Hillary Clinton: Trump blaming Democrats for zero tolerance immigration policy is an ‘outright lie’

As liberals rightly bash Trump for his immigration policy, just remember that Hillary Clinton said immigrant children fleeing violence would be sent back.

So basically, both candidates would have done the same thing as President?! Unreal!

Well, not quite the same thing. But the Democrats are too in bed with the corporations, too, and their military policy is just as dictated by the oil and military hardware industries as the Republicans' is.

In many ways, yes. That said, Hillary would have been moderately better on certain issues. I don't think she would have pulled out of the Iran Deal or the Paris Climate Agreement. And while she's a friend of the wealthy, I don't think she would have given a blatant giveaway to the rich like Trump did with his tax cut scam. Lastly, she wanted to "tweak" Obamacare, which left 29 million people uninsured. If Trumpcare had been implemented, it would have resulted in over 50 million people uninsured. So there are differences between them.

Despite being slightly better than Trump, her overall support for a neocon agenda was a deal breaker for me. I've always believed in voting for the person you want to be president, whether they're likely to win or not. That's why I voted for Jill Stein. Hillary supported the TPP, which would have sent many US jobs overseas. She supported a border fence (similar to Trump's wall), and supported the deportation of children fleeing violence in their countries. She's supported all of the wars we were in under Bush and Obama. She's enriched herself through deals with Russian oligarchs and Wall Street, and even supported the Wall Street bailout. She wouldn't get behind a living wage, single payer healthcare, tuition free college, etc. She's called Bernie supporters sexists, said they have dead end jobs and live in their parents basement, etc. In other words, she sounds like your average Republican.

Also, if you vote third party in a blue or red state, it doesn't affect the outcome. I live in the blue state of Washington, which is not a swing state.
