Ever heard of mathematical expectation?
How about "war on women", "war on poor",... Isn't that the same kind of generalization?

Those things are based on an overall pattern of behavior by MANY people on MANY occasions, not on isolated acts by individuals.

I would never claim (and I doubt anyone else here would) that progressives are ALL squeaky clean and conservatives are ALL slimy snakes. There are no angels in politics. (Well, there's Jimmy Carter, but he's kind of in a case by himself, lol.)

That being the case, I am going to vote for the side that supports the values I agree with; i.e., the progressive side. All politicians are flawed human beings, but if I have to choose between a flawed human being who supports things like (to name a few examples) universal health care, protecting women's reproductive rights, making it easier rather than harder for people to vote, etc., rather than a flawed human being who opposes those things, I'm going to pick that first flawed human being.

In that case how come you aren't going to look at the candidates themselves? Hopefully, your choice won't be in prison by then.

This question is a non sequitur. Nothing I said implies that I am not not going to "look" at the candidates.

Of course I look at the candidates. That does not equate to believing every single scrap of mud that has ever been slung at them.

Sorry, but I had a different impression. I thought you are locked for Hillary. Did you look at any others?

You forgot about the "war on Christmas".
