25. Well it does feel good to support her and be a fully informed person

I don't argue here much, but my opinions are fully informed when it comes to something as important as POTUS. With Hillary, I can acknowledge her flaws, praise where she excels (so many areas) and am very comfortable in my own skin. I have no need to rely on conspiracy, old-- or new-- Rightwing bullit points, or blow-hard pundits or sanctimonious Op-eds.

Real, verifiable information is out there. It's a feeling like right after fresh spring shower to access it, to acknowledge it and to understand it. I dislike feeling uninformed or worse, rely on faulty reasoning and logical falicies.

I'm reasonably intelligent and I like feeling that way too--so it's good be be around people who can fairly and maturely analyze information. I avoid ones who can't unless I'm very bored.

I "get" certain criticisms of Hillary. I don't get hate, hyperbole, or just plain bullshit.

So I feel ya.
