Feel that I should throw out here that I am voting for Clinton because I like her - not because I'm a democrat (I'm registered Green, but reserve the right to vote in the direction of my conscious) I see with clear eyes the choice I'm making and in no way does Trump entertain as anything other than a threat to our country. I am not alone in this regard, as Trump does not have a single major newspaper endorsement (not even in the deepest red states - at least as of yet). Clinton has 70+. If I saw similar signs of an impending disaster from a Clinton nomination I would certainly not even consider casting a vote for her. Donald Trump mocks both Clinton and Obama's open declaration of the coming (and on going) global climate crisis and it really does and should top the list of greatest concerns. Unclean environment - no job matters, no clean air - and no life is sustainable. Unsafe drinking water, historic floods, draughts, and wildfires - and this is just the beginning. Science says that we have a finite timeline (that is near, if not present moment) for corrective action and even then it may be iffy. Who is going to address this? Someone who doesn't believe it is real or even an issue? Or someone who is prepared on day one to take meaningful action? If immigration is a concern, think how bad things will be when millions of refuge's seek a safe haven due to unlivable conditions. Military a voting a concern? The Pentagon has declared that the climate crisis is a more potent threat than terrorism and, in fact, will be linked with its fight. Military ports and bases are in threat of mass destruction due to rising sea levels. The list goes on. There is no excuse for us to turn our backs on this issue now - not if we have kids, grandchildren, or a deep love for country and planet. Donald Trump has a long history of self profit over service. Like Clinton or not, disagree with her policies, hold in contempt her political flaws (which she is well aware of) but it is clear that she is the only logical and safe choice. If her record is reviewed from a non-patrician source than it is also clear that yes, she is flawed, but she is on an entire level of qualification higher than Donald Trump. It's why I don't really bother to debate the issue. It's a simple matter of honest looking. I appreciate the polite discussion everyone had here and hope we can continue to view each other as friends first and our policy differences last.
