I quickly looked at her platform, which I didn't find too objectionable. It was her as a person. I didn't document my findings (sorry, I do it as a flurry of activity around the election cycle then I move on), but basically I found her incredibly dishonest and in league with others I found distasteful. Her history and track record made me cringe.What was it about Clinton's platform that you found so objectionable? Good, solid, middle-of-the-road stuff from beginning to end as far could see (though personally I would've preferred someone further to the left).
I looked at Trump, and on the surface, parts of that platform made sense too. But the person, oh hell no. Knew even his best platform ideas would be implemented poorly..."the road to hell is paved with good intentions." Knew he'd find the worst way to implement a good idea.
I don't generally vote mainstream democrats or republicans, just so you know...I generally find them abhorrent. I also immediately throw-out any politician that engages in consistent attack ads (especially on their main platform web site); that's just an ethical bar I insist upon. I also toss any politician without a useful web site, since I rely on the web for research among other things (the Google Fu is strong with this one).
I tend to trend democratic and liberal, but with odd amounts of conservative, and likely "towards center" no matter how I look at it. I vote my conscience, which means I have voted all over the map in national and local elections: democrats, republicans, libertarians, greens, etc. I lost track, but think I've voted for just about every political party at one time or another.
