Dilbert Creator Scott Adams Endorses Gary Johnson For President (dilbert.com)

Long-time Slashdot reader SonicSpike writes: Scott Adams, creator of the popular comic, Dilbert, has decided to endorse Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson for President. He writes at his blog: "Clinton supporters have been telling me for a few days that any visible support for Trump makes you a supporter of sex abuse. From a persuasion standpoint, that actually makes sense. If people see it that way, that's the reality you have to deal with. I choose to not be part of that reality so I moved my endorsement to Gary Johnson. I encourage all Clinton supporters to do the same, and for the same reason...

"To be fair, Gary Johnson is a pot head who didn't know what Allepo was. I call that relatable. A President Johnson administration might bring with it some operational risks, and policy risks, but at least he won't slime you by association and turn you into some sort of cheerleader for sex abuse in the way you would if you voted for the Clintons or Trump."
The essay concludes, "You might enjoy my book because you're not sure if I'm really endorsing Gary Johnson or just saying so to protect my brand."

I'm not the poster you're responding too, but I think he does and you simply don't. Performing a "reset" with Russia, followed by the reintroduction of Cold War era feuds (well, from their side anyway) and the death of a US Ambassador because she refused to protect the area and refused to be open about the cause (unless you still believe it was caused by a YouTube video).

Compound that with the excuse that we pulled out of Iraq too soon because Iraq refused -- she was the top diplomat and clearly unable to convince them. Syria also had the red line drawn repeatedly by Obama, while she was also the lead diplomat (arguably that's much more Obama's fault than hers, but she is supposed to smooth out those issues as Secretary of State).

Finally, while Secretary, she has been proven to have had a private email server with actively classified details on it (yes, actively classified, which was in the FBI report). The FBI Director used a synonym for "Gross Negligence" to avoid recommending prosecution, but she is also guilty of mishandling classified material (going so far as to not recognize what the "(C)" means on classified documents in recorded testimony), which requires absolutely no intent (!) and every annual security training reminds people holding a clearance of that. She's either incredibly corrupt or incredibly incompetent, but there is no "good" option. Based on this alone, she's above the law and electing her creates a caste system within America where you agree that laws do not apply to the likes of her (but I suppose we should trust that she'll fix the system for the other people?).

I'd qualify those all as "performed terribly" in her duties. In fact, I can't name something that she did well in the role.
