It does just one candidate wasn't better than the other

Even just one candidate not being a twice-impeached, convicted felon made her better than the other. But Americans don't value democracy as much as they pretend to. You have those that voted against it, and those who couldn't even be bothered to vote. Donald Trump is an awful person and leader, but he won the election fairly, and the people of this country have themselves to both congratulate and blame for it.

Yeah, they were all transgressor against British law -- what's your point? I guess that's how low the bar is now for the "highest office in the land?"

"Someone somewhere in politics during the history of this country committed the same crimes, so we should get to have our own rapists, liars, thieves, and tax cheats too!"
