I need a clear explanation as to why people hate Clinton WITHOUT using the following:

"Corrupt"
"Compulsive Liar" -Politifact proven she was the most honest candidate in the race.
"Liar" -See above
"E-Mail"
"Benghazi" -Proven over and over and over that there was nothing there.

Please. Somebody explain this hatred for Hillary Clinton; it's baseless and makes no utter sense. She's clearly, CLEARLY qualified to be POTUS and is liked overseas, unlike Trump.

Why did a third one start? As I type, we're still over thirty pages away from 500 on the current Megathread.

He or she is welcome to the title, but I think that I'm going back to the current megathread until it's locked.

I rather see neither, Trump or Clinton in the White House, IMO all Clinton will do is pander towards anyone that's a minorites, and all I can see Trump doing is creating extremely bad relations with every other country on Earth.

I believe I should have the Freedom to say whatever I like no matter how offensive without negative consequences ( free to criticise me though ).
And do as I like with in the confines of the law.

Pros: Meritocracy, Monarchy, Egalitarianism, free speech and free expression (Most of these are a given)

Cons: Feminism, people who put feelings before fact, and Islam also people who think the "Guilty until proven innocent" mentality is acceptable.

Well they are upity. Just like women. Gave them the vote and everything went to hell.

Absolutely. I'll also point out this thread is started by the OP of US-GEM I

The one who gave us a shitty poll and disappeared for two weeks after. When it's time for US-GEM III please could we have it started by someone else? In fact, how about we ask a Moderator to do it.

I like the current OP of US-GEM II. I think they should continue the GEM protocol until its purpose is fulfilled.

Megathread II is still active: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=384194&start=11775

This megathread is therefore premature.
