That is what this election boils down to for me. That's why I don't understand why people aren't scared of a Trump presidency, that is why I don't understand democrats abandoning their party.
I care a lot about the future and I try to be very aware of how I'm impacting that - that is why I registered with the Green Party once I was old enough to. And I vote green not as a protest of because I'm angry, but because I agree with their ideals. But in my mind, the goal of the greens right now is not to get a president in power, it's to continue to build up the green presence on the lower levels.
I'm young, I haven't been through many presidential elections. But I always vote locally and I care very much about the community I live in. I don't fully understand politics or have the long term view of it some of you guys do, or the life experience to know the facts vs lies about Clinton.
What I do know that we should never take for granted what was built before, or ignore our responsibility to maintain it and add to it. A Supreme Court justice is a big deal and I don't get how anyone who actually believes in what the Green Party is about, or what Bernie Sanders wa saying, would ever want to risk that power falling into the hands of a person like Trump or those that are supporting him.
