29. The president appoints judges to SCOTUS and appeals courts that serve for 40 years in many cases.

And what do you think a right wing court will do to your revolution? Twenty people were murdered in Florida yesterday at a gay bar and more than 40 hurt by most reports...I have no idea if it was domestic...but consider the hate that Trump would use to get his way-divide and conquer. No minority group would be safe. My daughter is gay, and the fucking courts mean everything to her and millions of Americans...wise up before you help destroy any progressive movement and elect a monster. Real people's very lives are at stake in this election...and I have lost any patience with people who think the president doesn't matter because their guy lost. The courts matter more than Bernie Sanders and his supporters should stop spouting crap about how they will vote down ballot...wow that would help so much. Yes I am being sarcastic.
