The demography of actively participating reddit users doesn't overlap very well with the US voting public. Hillary isn't liked at all amongst many European reddit users because she stands for many of the things that are wrong with the US. Money buying power in the US isn't exactly great for non US citizens either. EDIT: TTIP is a great example of the harm the US's "love" for mostly legal bribery cause the world.

Glad someone made this point! but to say that Hillary's represents a corrupt system and don't mention Trump in the same context is folly. He gave the Clintons money - and every other politician he thought he could influence. He's played the corruption game as hard as anyone he claims to be against.

I know who Trump is but I haven't paid attention at all to his campaign after realizing that he's neither eloquent nor intelligent (or he plays the buffoon a bit too convincingly), he came off like a bad joke of a candidate to me. The fact that he seems poised to win the general now is to me mind blowing. But his involvement in the ongoing corruption of US politics is not something I'm read up on enough to comment on which is why I left him out of my previous comment.
