I was a Bernie supporter (and still am), but it was a no-brainer to support Hillary once she became the democratic nominee.

I briefly flirted with the idea of voting third party but only because I live in a solid blue state. Never would have had to consider if I lived in a swing state.

It didn't take long for me to decide that of all the available candidates, Hillary is the best candidate for the job.

There will be many opportunities for protest votes in the future. Trump is far too dangerous to risk a protest vote because if he wins you may never get another opportunity. I hope others like you will come around and do the right thing for our future too.

characterization of Trump.

I hope others who are coming from the same direction as you are take the same pragmatic approach.

If Stein looked like she would win I would have voted for her. Hell, I would have voted for Johnson or McMullin before voting for the Tangerine Danger.

Hillary is the only person running who both, can win, and, function as a competent president. Rump is beyond deplorable, as I am sure you know.

If nationalism/greed/hate wins, all the lights go out. You can close the book on America after that.

If Hillary and the down-ballot Democrats can carry the day, at least the opportunity still exists to keep moving the focus leftward.

Thanks so much for doing the right thing.
