WHY do we have to VOTE for HILLARY CLINTON on November 8th, 2016?!!

Vote for Hillary Clinton on November 8th, 2016!!
----------------------------
If you:
1. Have supported Hillary Clinton and her programs from Day 1, prove it by casting your votes for her on november 8th.

2. Have previously voted for president Obama and agree that Obama's programs have worked well for Americans and the rest of the world, vote for Hillary on November 8th, because Hillary is the candidate who will continue Obama's great legacy and programs.

3. If you don't really support her because you initially preferred Bernie Sanders or later lean towards some 3rd party candidate, vote for her anyway on November 8th, because voting for 3rd party candidate will only give advantage to Trump's camp. And isn't what Trump is fighting for completely against what Bernie has been fighting for?

4. If you're an independent who supports neither candidates, or if you're a Republican, but are fully aware that Trump's ideology, thoughts and plans are harmful not just for US but for the whole world, then vote for Hillary anyway on November 8th, because not voting would mean wasting one precious vote that otherwise could be used against Trump.
--------------------------
EVERY VOTE COUNTS!!! Keep up the fantastic GOTV efforts and tell all your friends, neighbors, loved ones and family members to cast your votes for Hillary on November 8th, 2016!!...

I think since the primary and after several meeting with Bernie Sanders, Hillary has taken up several progressive issues.
Issues for her that are not just for show or to show voters that she is a progressive candidate because I think its real and sincere.

Hillary is addressing many progressive issues that include College tuition, raising taxes on billionaires and millionaires,raising the minimum wage and many more progressive issues.

Thanks @INdemo, i'm just worried Hillary is still not getting as much support from Democrats as president Obama did in.2008 & 2012. we're facing diehard supporters of an unconventional republican candidate willing to do and use anything to achieve his goals, so we gotta be equally motivated and united in supporting Hillary.... 3rd party candidate worries me a lot, but what worries me the most is some democrats who will stubbornly vote for jill stein or gary johnson though they know.that it will.only be to.Drumpf's advantage 😱😱...

Try this one: "President Donald Trump"

How's THAT for a good reason (assuming one can't come up with any others)?

head of Homeland Security Rudy Gulliani, Chris Christie as Secretary of Labor, Ben Carson as Surgeon General, and no doubt one of his kids as head of the FEC.

Not to mention Mike Pence doing everything he can to push through an agenda even religious zealots will find extreme.

It makes me want to pull in the "no difference" crowd and ask them, "REALLY? You're gonna tell me this with a straight face?"

but mistyped. And yeah, at this point one must be truly oblivious to believe there's "no difference" between these candidates.

The "no difference" crowd knows FULL WELL that there is plenty of difference, but their rigid ideology won't permit them to say so out loud. It could endanger their raison d'être.

Then the days leading up to and including election day you can spend working the GOTV. I not only want that Orange Sludge to be beaten, I want the 'Trump Brand' that he still keeps selling to be destroyed. Maybe he'll move to Russia or North Korea.
