Arguments that WILL work in persuading people to vote HRC instead of Stein

1) Thanks in significant measure to the strength demonstrated by the Sanders campaign(joined by the progressive wing of HRC's supporters), the Democratic Party has the most progressive platform we've had in years;

2) With the changes that have been made in the party this year, there is now space to work for real change within the Democratic Party-the "dead zone" conditions of the past have been ended.

3) Voting HRC is a way to create unity between those who prioritize social justice and those who put social justice and economic justice on an equal footing, thus creating the conditions for greater change in the future;

4) In addition to that, Trump is a fascist, racist, homophobic gold-plated douchenozzle.

These are the approaches the party has, largely, used to great effect so far, and they will continue to work if we stay with them.
