I know there are many reasons someone would support Hillary Clinton over Trump or Trump  vs Hillary but if you are a hobbyist a vote for Clinton is a vote against being in this hobby.

Why?

Because feminists, like Evangelical Christians, seem to hate sex and feminists of Hillary Clinton's ilk view prostitution as slavery even if done by women of their own free will as independents.  

Feminists and Evangelicals have a history of cracking down on porn and prostitution and we may see a Hillary Clinton try and "triangulate" and attack the hobby and online porn as a way to placate the left and right.  

Trump can be said to be the lesser evil but his running mate is a full on Evangelical so there is a chance he may do the same as Hillary would as president. At best Trump would keep things business as usual for this hobby.  

The best vote one can do is to vote for a Libertarian party but that party's candidate is seen as somewhat of a joke and maybe just a Republican sponsored by the never Trump wing of the GOP running as a fake libertarian to steal away votes from Trump.  

So based on preserving this hobby as a criteria Hillary is the worst candidate you can support, Trump is a little better (his VP choice makes it a gamble) and Libertarian is best for a hobbyist.  

To me it is just foolish to support Hillary Clinton and be into this hobby.

...This is the party that declared pornography to be a "public health crisis" at the RNC.  I'm sure they'll be much more tolerant of prostitution than the Democrats

I favor Clinton, but your argument as to why hobbyists would be voting against their own best interests is actually pretty sound. The portrait of the Clinton type of Feminist might be accurate. Laissez faire might prevail with that attitude, as long as there are no great trafficking scandals cooking somewhere. That would force either choice to crack down for awhile, at least until whatever the stink's about blows over.

Trump could screw things up to the point that we'll flip into emergency mode and forget about whoring around for awhile. But, of course, if Depression is the Big Screw Up resulting from his crackpot schemes, the hobby might flourish into a Golden Age the likes of which we've never seen before and probably won't live to see again.

The down side for me is that I seldom have voted my own pocketbook and probably won't start now.

I don't disagree - Trump's VP is a die hard Evangelical but Trump seems to just be play acting the Evangelical part.  

But Hillary is full on feminist - her feminist allies are not the pro porn feminists we sometimes see. Her feminist pals are the ones that want to arrest johns not hookers and view consensual prostitution as a sex crime. Kaine is a Catholic Missionary. Liberal for sure but being against sex aligns with both his religion and leftist feminism.  

So Hillary is the worst choice for the hobbyist.

I was watching Fusion cable channel and it devotes hours to documentaries about trafficked women and in these documentaries they represent all kinds of prostitution as exploiting women - even consensual prostitution that we defend here (we are all against trafficking). Documentaries advocating jailing johns and re-educations.  

If Hillary wins, these kinds of people with kind of thinking will be Hillary's shock troops.  

Again, it is possible Trump in office can do what W Bush did - crack down on sex/porn to satisfy the Evangelicals - that is a risk - but I bet Hillary will be 4  years non-stop pushing women's issues - including cracking down on prostitution/johns.  

Scary future for hobbyists.

...is more influential on her and those guys like their hookers and their nose candy.  She won't mess with that.

Also, notice that she's not calling herself Hillary Rodham Clinton anymore like she did when Bill got elected.  That's a signal that she's not pushing a feminist agenda.  Of course, if she wins, she could revert to Rodham Clinton again as President.  That would be a cunty move.

You are naive to think Hillary won't crack down on prostitution - make campaigns against it.

It's feminists that are the true enemy of the hobby.

Prostitution is legal in most countries run by the church, just look at Central and South America, virtually every country south of us is run by the Catholic Church and in virtually every one of those dozens of countries prostitution is completely legal. It's only in countries where the feminists have started pushing their agenda where legal prostitution is being threatened.

I hate the Thumpers every bit as much as you do, but even I have to admit the OP has a point.

Hobbying could fall to either the excesses of the far left & right.

She was the lead lawyer against the republicans.  Watergate scandal was about prostitution.  The democrats had compiled a list of republicans who were seeing prostitutes. That's why they broke in Watergate complex.

He is the man for the Johns.

Standard script: "I love Johns and whores. Nobody knows them better. Nobody. Nobody understands the issues of whores and Johns. I will protect their business. Listen folks, we will not have a trade deficit with China. We will protect our brothels. I swear. Johns love me. We will win their votes. We will sweep their votes. Crooked Hillary knows shit about prostitutes. I know it all. I am a businessman. From the days of my grandfather, we've been taking care of whores. We love whores. I married three. Believe me, folks, there no one, no one who knows as much about whores and Johns as Donald J Tramp."

Then, he points his finger at a black man in the second row in front, and says: "Look folks, there is my black John, a huge dick, he is my man, they all love me, they cum to hear me, not just Dukes, Johns too, even Africans, they cum to me."

They have legalized prostitution to get the pimps and traffickers out. Same rational for legalizing or decriminalizing drug sales.

It is illegal in most of the USA due to a Puritan strain of Protestantism. What is funny is feminists seem to overlap with the extreme religious right on sex in many areas except gay rights.  

In any case if you value the hobby Clinton is a choice against your hobby. Just a consideration I felt no one was bringing up.

They have more than enough to deal with already and will leave it to the states and municipalities.  IOW, everything will remain the same.

As far as I know there aren't even any federal laws on the books prohibiting prostitution. Although I believe there are some human trafficking laws that are now being used to target fully consenting adults with the backing of the feds, This of course has happened during a DEMOCRATIC administration. I do have to believe that "human trafficking" would have higher priority under a Clinton administration than Trump. So perhaps there is something to this after all?

There is a big difference between the Catholic Church and the Fundimentalist Evengelical Community we have in the US.  One will absolve sinners for straying from the path, the other will condem them to burn in hell!

What drugs were you taking when this one came to you?

It's still on the books (amended) and has been updated to cover what we'd now call human trafficking.

I mentioned federal "anti human trafficking" laws and also mentioned that they would be MORE likely to have more teeth to them under a Clinton Administration than under Trump

The Mann Act is NOT a federal law designed to outlaw prostitution although it is being "bent" to do so.  You correctly stated that prostitution is prosecuted at the state and local level.
