Why I'm Voting for Hillary and Not for Sanders (Hillary Group)
First: The Presidency is more than a set of promises, it’s about the unpredictable, it’s about all the issues we don’t even know are issues yet. The Presidency is about foreign policy, and making decisions under pressure, and about commanding our military presence around the world. Hillary Clinton is by far the most qualified, experienced candidate for President in modern times. I think that experience counts for something, I think it has prepared her to confront one of the most complicated sets of foreign policy challenges any President has confronted in decades.
Second: The Presidency is about legislative action. Hillary Clinton has laboriously built alliances in Washington and across the 50 states. She is ACTUALLY building the infrastructure of a political revolution because she’s laying the groundwork necessary to actually get things done, to convince other democrats to join her in her policies. And those policies WILL be liberal. She is not a republican, and independent, non-partisan analysis’ of her records and rhetoric show that she’s a liberal on par with Elizabeth Warren.
Third: The Presidency is about the future of the party. Whether we like the two party system or not, the democratic party is the thing between us and the GOP. Talk about the billionaire class being in charge! The GOP makes no bones about being owned by their contributors. It takes money and party building to keep the GOP at bay. It will take a strong democratic party to actually achieve campaign finance reform, to successfuly bring about and defend policies that help rebuild the middle class. Has the party system done a great job so far? No. But destroying the one party that, at the very least accepts that we need to do something about it, as a response to not having done enough results in having nothing done at all.
Fourth: The Presidency is about weathering scandal. The GOP smear machine is a multi-million dollar, multiple media juggernaut. We’ve seen it deployed against Bill, against Obama, and against Hillary… our candidate and eventual President needs to be expert at handling the dirty tricks of the GOP and Hillary knows how. She’s been dealing with it for years and, while not immune, has a higher political tolerance for such attacks because people assume they’re empty....
