It a simply appalling choice between the two and yet people still get partisan about it. Astonishing really. For me it all seems so tribal that I want to weep.
However, we all know exactly what Hilary will bring if she wins the vote. We already see the team she is building and those, like Michael Morrell, making a play for it. She and they are the war party. So all those who vote and support her will be voting for 8 more years of what Obama brought the world (and the world doesn't want it anymore). Eight years of death and destruction with a possibility of triggering a world war when they go after Russia who, after the Duma vote, will be in no mind to peddle backwards anymore. Eight years of voting for the annual award of vast riches (your riches) to the defence industry (to waste) on perpetual warfare, where immense suffering and blood is shed in exchange for fat cigars, sparkling millionaire mansions and gross greed.
Or does one imagine that these things won't happen? That Hilary will change her spots and start cooing over babies and cuddling kittens? That she'll begin building hospitals and schools and punishing Wall Street for their corruption and greed?
But Trump also has very little to commend him; he's obnoxious, crooked, a misogynist etc. He also is not a Washington insider and will do things differently and is therefore viewed as a real risk.
A risk as opposed to what?
A certainty for war, destruction and vast inhuman cruelty -- the saving grace of which is that it will be exported thousands of miles away overseas.
And everyone, therefore, can sort of pretend it's not really real and they had no part in it anyway.
If Hilary wins... shame on America.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
