Donald Trump just convinced me to vote for Hillary if the nominee

67. Fair enough.

We may have different perspectives on what constitutes 'the struggle' and the nature of what may be the best ways to advance it. But I can respect and appreciate the perspective you've enunciated. Thanks for the reply

One difference may be that I reached my decision not to support Clinton well before Sanders declared his candidacy. I wasn't giving up on anything as I reached that decision. It would have been really easy to just go with the flow, and I made a hard call. At least, to me it was and is. When Sanders declared his candidacy, I was really, really relieved. I could support someone.

If Clinton had, through the conduct of her campaign, given me reason to question my reasons for the decision not to support her, I would have been thrilled - really - to be wrong. But, she hasn't.

Oh - and, sweet Jesus, I won't vote for Donald Trump. I also won't write in Sanders if he doesn't win the nomination. And I won't stay home either. But, for the first time in my life, I may not vote for a candidate for the Presidency.

All I can ask, I guess, is that you consider the possibility that an act (or, well, the absence of an act) that would, for you, be 'giving up,' might not be that for everyone.

Have a good one
