(11,495 posts)Voting for Bernie isn't going to do it. Change happens from the local level on up. Have you started looking for candidates at the local and state levels to run in the next election? Until you can fill congress with people who will help accomplish these things, nothing will change.
Many here think the best way to bring about this change is to NOT vote in the GE. They can't stand Hillary, so they want to sit on their ass and let Trump win, then they think things will change. Yep they will change all right, and not for the better. Even on Hillary's worst day she is a hundred times better than Trump, and these are Bernie's own words. We have come long way since George W. Bush tried to destroy this country. President Obama has done a hell of a lot for us and allowing a moron like Trump to get in the WH would destroy all the gains we have seen since Obama was elected.
With Hillary we will get liberal judges on the Supreme Court. Can you imagine what we would get with Trump?
With Hillary we will continue down the road Obama has put us on, and things will get better if we also have a congress that will work to make things change for the people of this country. Do you think that Trump will help make things better for this country?
I want the same things you do, and I will vote for the nominee no matter who it is because I know things won't be perfect, but they will be a hell of a lot better than if we allow Trump to win the WH, and that's simply a fact. I
It will take time to get where you and I want to be, but even if we only make small changes with Hillary, it will be better than going backwards with Trump in charge, wouldn't you agree?
