@ theplanner, @ Sajwan
@ theplanner: Oddly enough, I'm a Democrat, and 90% of the Democrats that I know - which is a fair few people - don't support Clinton. The other difference between you and me, is that I'm not willing to claim that my experience is generalizable to election results.
As for your claim that black liberation theology isn't Christianity: while I don't have a dog in that fight, I do have two questions for you related to liberation theology (as distinct from whatever version plays in Chicago churches):
1) When the regional Catholic Church leadership sided with military juntas and land-owners throughout Latin America to suppress local parish priests and activists who embraced liberation theology as a way of breaking the exploitation of locals, who was acting more in concert with the teachings of the Christian Gospel?
2) what in heaven's name does that have to do with economic regulatory policy?
@Sajwan. 1) Godwin's law. Come on, you can do better than that.
2) The executive doesn't perform the role that you want in terms of detailed policy definition and execution. Those are the traits you might want in a Senator or Representative. I rather doubt that there's any one person who has fully mastered the tax code, and since policy (theoretically) reflects principle, there's no such thing as an "objectively best" policy, there are however "objectively better aligned to a given goal" policies.
