Robert Reich: Why Bernie Supporters Should Back Hillary
By Robert Reich On 7/21/16 at 6:20 AM
This article first appeared on RobertReich.org.
May I have a word with those of you Bernie Sanders supporters who consider Donald Trump to be no worse than Hillary Clinton?
You’re dead wrong.
As I said when I endorsed Sanders for president, I view Clinton as enormously qualified to be president of the political system we now have. She is smart, capable and experienced. I endorsed Sanders because I thought he would help create the political system we need. But Sanders will not be the Democratic nominee.
This does not mean the end of the movement Sanders advanced. That movement was never about Sanders; it was about reclaiming our democracy and our economy. And that movement will live on, and it will grow. It needs your continuing activism and your tenacity. . . .
