Ok, I don't know why I'm even bothering, let alone trying to explain why she is the best candidate by a wide margin and yet the gibbering idiots either can't seem to understand this or are too ass-deep in treating Wikileaks like it's the fucking gospel. For the record, I'm no fan of Hillary, and if someone like Kascish was the Republican nominee, I wouldn't be mentioning this, but we don't.

Most qualified? On what basis? She was secretary of state, but does that necessarily mean that she was good at being secretary of state so she will be a good president?
30+ years of politics being around Bill Clinton, along with being a Senator and being a secretary of the state isn't good enough? Yeah, I dare say that's she more than qualified.
No. Bernie had a good political track record, while Hillary has an inconsistent one, and the emails of her having public and private positions don't help.
Well okay, but Bernie has been a Junior Senator in Vermont, and was largely irrelevant until recently, whereas as I just said Hillary has decades of experience in many important positions. Sure, she made political gaffes during that time, but that's bound to happen when you've been in the Senate for decades. Frankly, the e-mail scandal is small potatoes being made a big deal because of foreign intervention who are trying to influence our election.
It's not the "Gen Y" don't know what they want, it's that we don't know what we really have with Hillary.
But they truly don't know what they want. Not to mention that they seem to be the most unrealistic and naive bunch out there, thinking that we would have a Western European like social system immediately when that takes decades to fully implement in America. You need to build the foundation first, and Hillary is the only person who could do that, and that's not including the GOP who are hell-bent on stopping it even in their fractured state.

Wikileaks is nothing more than a troll, who seem to be too busy influencing our business instead of going after groups/leaders like Daesh, Mexican drug cartels or Vladimir Putin, all of them more dangerous to world peace than bog-standard corruption in our shores. They have no stake in this and Assange is basically doing everything to avoid sexual assault charges against him, some hero he is.
Let's set the record straight here:
Is Hillary the most affable candidate this election year? No, she isn't.
Is she a flawed choice for president, let alone for the Democratic ticket? Pretty much.
Hell, she's made plenty of mistakes in her political career, but when you consider the alternatives, a blowhard bigot appealing to the lowest common denominator of disenfranchised white people, a former governor who doesn't understand what is going on in the world, and a nutbar who gets all of her policies from a hippie pamphlet and thinks Wi-Fi and Vaccines are evil, yeah, I think the choice is pretty fucking obvious.
You don't to agree with her on everything, or even like her for that matter. But the bottom line is that she's the best choice by miles, so if the Gen Y or progressives want to have their cake and eat it too, suck up your pride and vote for her, unless they want to spend decades going down the tubes because of their naïveté and ignorance with Trump at the helm.
