"Because Facts Matter"

I will vote for Clinton over Trump,

BECAUSE FACTS MATTER

I know facts are irrevelant in elections sometimes. And that is what progressives face---support for candidates for reasons other than valid and recognized facts. But I have confidence the media people for Democrats are far more creative and better at the subtleties of presentation than so-called conservatives.

So all that is left are the issues. And for me, facts matter. Facts don't matter to the other side.

there is not one fact that Trump respects, not one fact that the media has ever held him to, not one lie that has ever been a bridge too far. nothing Hillary says, no matter how rational, ever sticks. it just slides right off his greasy combover.

the outcome of this election hinges on whether our collective higher brain can resist the pull of our collective reptile brain. right now, the reptile brain is ascendant.
