In reply to the discussion: If you're voting for Hillary because you think she can win the GE, you're part of the problem. [View all]dem in texas
(2,674 posts)The most important thing facing us after the 2016 election is Supreme Court appointments. It is imperative that a Democrat be elected president because some of the Judges will leave the bench after the election because of age or health reasons. I did not vote for Hillary in 2012 because of her vote to go to war in Iraq. But now, I am taking a practical look at it and she has the best chance to win in the general election. There are so many important things that will be up for the Supremes, more restrictions on abortions (or abolishment if we have a Repub as pres), Gerrymandering of districts, voters rights, campaign finance, the list can go on and all have an impact on us. This is election is not the time to stand on principles, but the time to be practical and help the Democrats win.
