I was originally a Bernie Sanders supporter. He is the most honest politician in Washington, and has always fought for the working class; the majority. He was correct in his claim that our nation would work best by limiting capitalism and creating a democratic form of socialism where all Americans would benefit from their labor.

Sadly, some of Bernie’s most avid supporters have decided not to vote for Hillary Clinton. Although her proposals for our nation’s people are similar to Bernie’s, they claim that they will support a third party candidate. Unfortunately, this will only benefit the most dangerous man in America, Donald Trump. They are voting against their own future.

“This moment in history for a presidential election is not the time for a protest vote,” the Vermont senator said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

Bernie continued: “It’s time to look at which candidate will work best for the middle class and working families.”

This is the truth. Hillary Clinton is the most qualified candidate in history, and will continue her efforts for the working class. The media has created an unfair image of Hillary. She has made honest mistakes, but these mistakes were made in the service of her country, not while bribing public officials, and conducting questionable business transactions.

The bottom line is that if you are willing to accept a vile, racist, bigoted, and unqualified man as your president, vote for Gary Johnson or Jill Stein. You will not be allowed to criticize any actions by Trump if he is the candidate you permit to desecrate the White House.

If you believe in everything Bernie said during his campaign, believe him now. It’s time to elect a president who will represent you and not special interests including white supremacists. I would rather have the person whose foundation has helped millions of people around the world than one who uses money donated to his foundation for personal use.

Show your faith in our nation by reposting this; I thank you.
