I seriously don't get all the hate from all the people. Pike is the best leader to date, Abby, Clarke, Kane are bunch of pussies, Jaha is in a limbo, Bellamy is probably too young and even though right now he does the right thing, he does not do it due to some rational reasoning. Who knows, he might easily change his mind if he falls in love with a grounder (unlikely) or got his sister killed by Sky People (maybe some accident). Pike is a man with consistent vision, words and actions. So far, the Clans take advantage of SP for their superior tech, supplies and guns to fight common enemies (Ice Nation, MM), I bet after Clans and SP are the only remaining powers in the region, it will not take long until Clans try to wipe out SP or enslave them if they do not learn how to use their tech. We have seen Clans to act only in their self-interest, like betraying SP in the battle at the MW. SP might not stand the chance against the whole army, but if they keep it smart and wipe them out in smaller groups (like they wiped out those "peacekeeping" forces) or use internal conflicts among the Clans, SP might win. And to those comparing him to nazis, Trump and others - SP are fighting against real enemy that (given the small numbers of Sky People) killed considerable amount of them, while Trump is fighting against pseudo-enemies, and Jews and other minorities oppresed by nazis never killed Germans in massive numbers. Plus if you feel bad for 300 grounders, think again, they were soldiers (not civilians) and what would you do with wounded? Leave them on the ground for painful and slow death (since Grounders probably could not save many bullet-wounded soldiers)? Or heal them so they go back to fighting and kill SP? Not killing is basically increasing their numbers. Probably only stupid decision was leaving Indra alive - one of the main backward-thinking characters that proposes solutions to Lexa that makes everyone worse-off. Wonder how more advanced would Clans be if Lexa had more enlightened advisors like she is.

Also, how can every person living in present-day society valuing democracy, human life and technological advances defend Grounders and even feel for their deaths? It is not like present-day wars when most of the nations having conflicts with each other are more or less on the same level, and innocent civilians are really innocent pretty much all the time and do not deserve to die. Here we have bunch of barbarians with despotic and violent leaders who still use candles and horses 100 years after the war, most of them with brutal and violent mindset (including civilians), maybe with some exceptions in Polis and recently their leader, their "eye for an eye" justice makes everyone blind in the long-run. On the other side, we have SP with democratically elected leader, superior technology, who are direct descendants of the civilised people that used to live on Earth prior to the nuclear war. If there is only hope to reestablishing normal society, it is SP (since MM are dead - too bad they did not treat SP as equals and tried to trade for bone marrow and supplies, of all the remamining peoples on Earth we have seen so far, MM were culturally closest to SP).
