> [@igor\_frankensteen](#): > > The main difference between Trump and Clinton, if you take away the thirty years of anti-Clinton Republican propaganda, was that Trump talked about addressing problems and imagined problems of the voters, and Clinton talked about how awful Trump was. This continues to be a myth. > **[Issues Archive - The Office of Hillary Rodham Clinton](https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/)** Trump’s has since been taken down, but it had a handful of issues sketched out, in levels of detail ranging from “insultingly vague” to “it would take an idiot to think this would actually work”. On the other hand, Trump _constantly_ went on the attack against Clinton, and had virtually nothing on the actual issues. Both sides attacked each other, but only Clinton had realistic policy proposals and covered a wide range of issues. If this election had been about policy, Trump would not have won. > [@](#): > > But people don’t vote in favor of someone BECAUSE they use sound bites, any more than they vote for someone BECAUSE they spend more on ads. They vote for someone because the particular sound bite or ad, makes them think “THIS person is going to address what bugs me.” This is also [totally backwards](https://www.vox.com/mischiefs-of-faction/2017/6/2/15730524/negative-partisanship-toxic-polarization). Republicans, by and large, did not line up behind Trump because they loved him. [They did it because they hated Clinton](http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-anti-vote-idUSKCN0XX06E). The number one reason people voted for Trump was not because they liked his politics or thought he looked presidential, but to oppose Clinton. On one hand, this is reassuring, because it means people didn’t think Trump was an objectively good choice for president. On the other hand, it’s deeply depressing, because it means people thought Trump was a better choice than Clinton. ---

“Justice” has become a tainted word, a word that, if sloganized, is likely to repel more voters than it attracts. Fairly or unfairly, it has become associated with “Justice for select groups (minorities/LGBT/Muslims) but not white-majority or male-majority groups.” ---
