I Truly Believe That There Are People Who Will Not Vote for Hillary Clinton [View all]

[MineralMan]

Lots and lots of them. Most are Republicans. Some, though, are people who think that there is no difference between Democrats and Republicans. Some are people who have just one primary issue. Others don't ever vote for anyone. Some don't believe that selecting Supreme Court justices is important, or think that social issues have no relevance. A few think that issues like women's rights, LGBT rights, reproductive rights, minimum wage increases and health care don't really matter that much, so they don't care if a Republican wins. Republicans can be counted on to work against all those things, though.

Yes, there are many people who won't vote for Hillary Clinton. I suppose each of those people thinks he or she has good reasons for withholding their vote. I'm not one of them. I don't have a single overriding issue. I think all issues are important to many people and I know that who is elected as President will have an effect on many issues.

I'm not one of the people who will not bother to vote, because there are so many legislative elections being held on the same date. I'm a Democrat, and have been one all my adult life. I've seen how electing Democrats has affected many things and issues over the years. I know that either a Democrat or a Republican will win as President in 2016. I prefer that a Democrat wins. I know what will happen if a Republican wins. I've seen the result of that, too, in my almost 50 years of voting in presidential elections.

I suppose that people will continue to attempt to justify their refusal to vote for the Democratic candidate in 2016. I won't argue with them, though. I can't change their minds. Instead, I'll talk about what is positive that will happen if Democrats win as President, House members, and Senators. I'll mention all of the state legislative seats that will be up for election, too, and why it's important to vote in 2016. I'll mark the Democratic candidate's name for President as part of my vote for Democrats down the list. I'll be voting, for sure, and I'll be trying to get as many Democrats as possible to the polls.

Others will do other things, I suppose. Good luck to them in the aftermath of the election. I hope they get what they want. I think I must want different things, though.
