Right now, I don't know what to think of Hillary. All I've seen, heard and read is so full of hate and vitriol, not to mention bullshit that I can't really believe it. She was secretary of state under Obama. How is Syria her doing? How do you know she's a CIA sockpuppet. I'm guessing you believe this stuff because of something your read.
That said, she did vote in favor of the invasion of Iraq. Along with most other senators. Bernie did not. I voted for Bernie in the primaries. Bernie is voting for Hillary. If he can see a good reason for voting for Hillary then I can't help but think that all this stuff is just made up shit. I don't think he'd do so if it were all true. I prefer Bernie. He's not going to be prez. I'm voting just like Bernie is.
I think people should vote according to their principles. But it's complicated. Well not in all cases. Trump is a bigot and a monomaniac, he's not a difficult entity to exclude from my list of candidates. The choice is to place a protest vote and basically leave it up to everybody else to elect a president or place a vote for Hillary. As I said earlier, I can't believe all the shit that's said of her and Trump is a fucking disaster of a prez in waiting. Wasting a vote as a protest in 2000 only put right wingers in power, where they dominated for the rest of the decade. That was followed by Enron scandal, 9-11, invasion of Iraq, water boarding and torture, Guantanamo, the Patriot Act, Blackwater massacres, tax cuts, massive spending increases, ballooning debt, mishandling of the economy and the Great Recession. Wasting that vote achieved evil.
My point is that there is no morally pure decision here. Go ahead and place a protest vote but know that it isn't such a high road as you proclaim. Again, I don't believe all the shit written about Hillary and I think she's going to make a great president. Not the greatest, maybe not even top 10 but still a better one than Trump by several hundred country miles.
