(7,018 posts)it, I hope you would still vote for her In November, 2016. Not to do so would mean
1 more vote for the Republicans -- and this could be fatal for democracy in our USA.
Hillary would, at least, keep a half-dead Dem. Party going. The GOP would try to
kill it altogether.
I first voted in a presidential election in 1968. I was very upset because many progressives stayed home because their candidate, Eugene McCarthy (anti war candidate) lost to Humphrey. The result, Nixon. Those who stay home because they want a more progressive candidate than H. Clinton will be playing right into the hands of the sick G.O.P. Regardless of what you think of Hillary, ( I prefer Warren) she is many times better than ANY G.O.P. candidate. Imagine for one minute, a Republican president to go with the House and Senate.

(4,119 posts)A fringe benefit of having Hillary in the White House is that Bill will be there too! THAT will drive the repubs crazier than they already are!

(81,125 posts)YES she's not perfect. But objectively speaking, she's the best shot we've got - for keeping the White House.
And with the opposition WE NOW FACE out there, it is URGENT that we keep the White House.

(8,812 posts)A lifelong Democrat, I am no longer willing to vote for the lesser of two evils. That strategy has proven to be a race to the right for our party and a race to the bottom for our democracy.
I don't honestly know how we're going to get corporate money out of politics, but it isn't going to happen by raising tons of money to elect a Wall Street loving warmonger.
P.S. In case you were wondering, I am a misogynist, a racist, an anti-Semite, and a Rove-loving stealth Republican, who hates America and will settle for nothing less than a pony.

(637 posts)Vote third party just to "make a statement?" Its your vote to throw away.

(8,812 posts)The general tendency among President Hillary's supporters to completely ignore the primaries is quite telling. And arrogant.

(14,524 posts)My "statement" is:
If you want my vote, run a candidate that I don't have to hold my nose while I am voting.
Sorry if that offends you Dwayne, but voting for corporatists, warmongers, and Wall Street enablers offends me.

It looks like someone did it in MS paint in about 5 minutes.
edited to add: If the arrow was pointing leftward, the Rush Limbaugh crowd would already be losing their shit over it, wouldn't they?
