Bernie Sanders supports Hillary Clinton and he wants you to support her toofor the sake of the country and the political movement he represents and intends to keep fighting for. In a Friday op-ed in the Los Angeles Times, Sanders writes:
I understand that many of my supporters are disappointed by the final results of the nominating process, but being despondent and inactive is not going to improve anything. Going forward and continuing the struggle is what matters. And, in that struggle, the most immediate task we face is to defeat Donald Trump.
The struggle will continue, he says, both during this election and after it. But in the near term, Clinton's vision for America on climate change, higher education, racial justice, criminal justice, income inequality, universal health care, and the Supreme Court is worth fighting for.
Donald Trump would be a disaster and an embarrassment for our country if he were elected president. His campaign is not based on anything of substance improving the economy, our education system, healthcare or the environment. It is based on bigotry. He is attempting to win this election by fomenting hatred against Mexicans and Muslims. He has crudely insulted women. And as a leader of the birther movement, he tried to undermine the legitimacy of our first African American president. [...]
On virtually every major issue facing this country and the needs of working families, Clintons positions are far superior to Trumps.
