sweh: (Chicken On Your Head)

Else-net I was accused of supporting Clinton because she says things that feed into my belief system.

I can't vote because I'm not a citizen. But I can have opinions :-)

I come from a country which is so far to the left of America that Clinton and Obama would be (rightly) considered right wing Tory candidates. I come from a country which provided free education up to and included your first graduate degree (so I got to go to Oxford even though my parents came from a working class background). I come from a country where healthcare is a right, not a privilege.

(It's unfortunate that this country doesn't exist any more; decades of underfunding and deliberate sabotage from both major parties have dismantled many of these things :-( Even before Brexit we lost free education - it's subsidised but still costs thousands per year; the NHS is teetering on an underfunded cliff; social rights are being eroded... *sigh*).

So, no, Clinton doesn't feed into my belief system. Sanders _might_ have done; I didn't pay any attention because it was irrelevant.

One of the reasons that I haven't become a citizen is because there is no one to represent me nor my belief systems.

So, no. I don't support Clinton because of my beliefs. I don't believe the best in her. She's not going to bring about the changes I think this country needs.

I support her because she's a fuck-ton better than Trump!
