Why I’m voting for Hillary Clinton as a former Bernie Sanders supporter

“If we really care that much, then going home and getting mad, well, hopefully that will be short and hopefully people will use those feelings of frustration and concern to get engaged”. Among those aged 18-34 who supported the Vermont senator in the primary, 64% said they’d vote for Clinton, while 10% were for Trump, 8% were for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and 8% backed Green Party candidate Jill Stein, according to a USA TODAY/Rock The Vote/Ipsos poll conducted October 24-27. The words in question come from one of the Podesta emails, an apparent exchange between Robby Mook and Christina Reynolds. In California, 55 people managed to register as “electors” to get Sanders approved as an official write-in candidate, with Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard as vice president. I, like many other Millennials, grew up much differently than the generations before us. “Would you rather hold Clinton to a progressive platform that includes a $15-per-hour minimum wage and action on climate change, or would you fight like hell to stop Trump from signing the Republican platform into law?” But that idea was quickly snuffed out when I started really paying attention to what was happening.

He offered a message for young voters that elections don’t always become so negative.

But younger voters aren’t primarily concerned with these issues. Let’s make sure Arizona has highest in its history.

It’s no accident that Sanders and Clinton held their first joint appearance after the primary here, where some supporters walked out in protests and others wept openly. Key parts of his platform were included or compromised on. Like Atie, the School of Arts and Sciences sophomore said he recognizes that Clinton and Trump are the only viable candidates in the race.

A certain amount of factional horse-trading over nominations is par for the course in politics; it’s especially so in a year when Ms. Clinton is reliant on support of the Warren-Sanders troops. Marek noted that the outspoken businessman has rescinded these endorsements, and pointed out that the Communist Party has endorsed Democratic presidential nominees in past elections.

Bernie’s new crusade to justify Clinton’s record has focused mainly on attacking Trump’s lifestyle and campaign.

“They know their vote matters because they were here”, she said. In two national surveys conducted by the Washington Post and ABC News, millennial voters favour Clinton over Trump by almost 2 to 1.

“I hope today we defeat Donald Trump and we defeat him badly”, Sanders continued.

Hillary Clinton is stopping by an early voting location in Miami to encourage her supporters to cast their ballots as soon as possible.

“I don’t think the progressive base of the Democratic party is under any allusion that we can sit back after this election is over”, Sroka said.

“Sanders was able to shift the Democratic Party to the left if you look at the impact of him and his delegates”, Dr. Shapiro says. And as a senator, Clinton supported legislation to address hate crimes, fought for federal non-discrimination legislation to protect LGBT people in the workplace, and advocated for LGBT adoption rights. Sanders explained that his motivation for stopping Trump was the fact that he has grandchildren. It’s why Sanders made a stop in Omaha Friday, Nov. 4.
