If I end up casting a vote for Hillary Clinton next year, it'll be for that reason.
But, there's really no getting around the fact that the average Republican politician is much more extreme and willing to erode our liberties and freedom than the average Democrat politician. Though nobody loves using the words "liberty" and "freedom" as much as a hardcore GOPstick, few of them even bother pretending that freedom and liberty should only belong to a select group of people who are just about entirely white, Christian, heterosexual and most of all, wealthy.
Democrats can be extremely disappointing, but Republicans are a total disaster. It's a shitty choice, but not a difficult one.
I think they are equally as bad when it comes to increasing government and reducing civil liberties.
