Very interesting point that I hadn't thought about. I agree that drones could be a gateway into something very dangerous.
I used to consider myself much more left. And to some extent, I feel like I still am on quite a few social issues.
That being said, recently I have realized that a lot of leftists such as Hillary sadly are all about giving mostly false hope. All saying the right things, but not really doing them. Her and her supporters preach and preach and preach, but their actions sometimes say otherwise. For example, like you said, preaching for women and minorities when they approve of drone strikes. Or advocating for more syrian refugees to come in when hate crimes targeted toward LGBT people or just anyone happen partly because of some of the beliefs held in those parts of the world.
Trump has had his issues for sure, but I feel like he has a little bit more integrity than Hillary.
The issue which you brought up is a real issue, and it's a shame that more people aren't aware or considering things such as that. I think that is largely the fault of the media.
I couldn't agree more about this. I think Obama said when he was running against Hillary, that she will say everything and do nothing. And to some extent that became true of his own presidency, at least in regards to sticking up for working class people.
While I feel like this term is often misused I think there truly is a double standard when it comes to Islam in regards to homo/transphobia as you pointed out. And this is something I'm yet to even hear an irrational explanation for.
I would agree. This is my biggest issue with voting Hillary, while my biggest issue with voting Trump isn't even him but the GOP platform that states things like declaring porn a public health crisis, or wanting to reverse the legalization of gay marriage. And none of these are things I've really heard talked about even on independent online media.
Donald Trump, Hilary Clinton, or no vote

Thanks, I'm glad you found it interesting.
