Trump or Hillary as President, who else is petrified?

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.

Back in 2008...I had my Nader/Gonzalez Bumper Sticker ready..I bought it online. I liked Dennis Kucinich then for the same reasons people like Bernie..and I thought that Clinton and Obama were "OK" but both too conservative. John Edwards was a complete no go for me....so when Kucinich dropped out.....I was happy to vote my conscience....

The thing is...in the end..my conscience would not allow a possible McCain/Palin Presidency and the risk of an even more conservative court so I abandoned my dream and got behind Obama....I had to plug my nose to vote for him. The second time..happily...no nose plugging. I voted for Obama very willingly and was happy to do so.

You are so right about local level politicians. It all starts there. In San Francisco..Gavin Newsom and Matt Gonzalez had a run off ..one was Green and the other Democrat,..very close race.

I got an invite to go to the meeting from Bernie Fans to start on the local level and I was so happy...almost went...but then he started in on Hillary Clinton. I have heard ENOUGH..so tired of it. The standard that they are holding her to is INSANE....

My way or the highway did not work out so well for the tea party or Republicans..so now Democrats are going to do the same thing? Compromise is a MUST in a Democracy. No one should get everything they want.
