3 REASONS TO VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HILLARY CLINTON BY TOM GEOGHEGAN
Great article for those who do not like the Clintons too much. It is extremely important that Trump and co are not elected. There is NOTHING to win in not supporting Hillary Clinton.

MAY I PILE ON THE REASONS why even the most bitter Sanders supporter should vote for Clinton? Forget the Supreme Courtit's too obvious. Here are three others:
1. Its not about Clinton herself. Your vote puts not just Clinton in power but literally thousands of appointees. It may be the deputy administrator in an EPA regional office, or the new director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or the new policy and strategy chief at U.S. Citizen and Immigration Servicesor a new member of the National Labor Relations Board, or even chief number cruncher at the Census Bureau

2. If Hillary is out, the Left is out. Not just through 2020, but in four, eight, 12, 16 years from now. Fight for $15 is over. The fight against wage theft is over. If she is out, there is no center-left to push.
Sure. You think after four years of Trump there will be another Bernie or Bernie-like movement. There won't. Even assuming Trump doesnt, in a Putin-like fit, cancel the 2020 elections, by then the country, or what's left of it, will be beyond your reach. The other sidethe real Other Sidehas four years to lock down policy with a lock that is bigger than the one on Fort Knox: requirements for balanced budgets, rules on redistricting, changes to the Voting Rights Act, federal voter ID laws, and on and on.

3. Consider the irony of a protest vote for the Green Partya party of the global Left, not a national onewhen the future of the globe itself is whats at risk. Should such a Green vote indirectly put the GOP in power, it is the end of the Paris Accords on Global Warming. It's not just that the United States would drop outwith the U.S. gone, other countries would, too. What would be the point of any other country complying? This would be devastating to the globalnot to mention the planet.
