Related: About this forum(from reddit) Dear Democrats, stop telling me to fall in line and support HRC!
Sums up the feelings of quite a few Independents and millennials.

snip...
To properly address and rebuff the insinuations about my convictions, I need to tell you a little bit about what I do believe (an abbreviated list - sources below):
I believe that climate change is the most important issue facing humanity; HRC sold fracking to the world and has accepted vast contributions from the fossil fuel industry.
I believe that war should be a last resort in an impossible situation; HRC has consistently proven herself to be a hawk.
I believe that dark money in politics and the resulting corruption is a cancer to a functioning democracy; HRCs campaign depends on such money.
I believe that for-profit prison are a national disgrace; Bill and Hillary Clinton were instrumental in creating the prison industrial complex.
I believe that Wall Street has irreparably harmed the very fabric of our economy (and continues to do so); HRC has received millions in contributions and payments from these same financial institutions, yet refuses to explain what shes discussed during her speeches this is absolutely relevant to her bid to become POTUS

(2,125 posts)2. Beautiful!
I think people need to realize that 8 years ago people were urging Clinton to do
the same thing and she hung till the convention and then refused to concede even
after Obama clearly won.
I didn't even vote yet!

(16,110 posts)3. But caring about any of those things
is just a sexist attack on Clinton and/or right wing smears.
So is quoting her. Or posting video of her saying things...or criticizing her. Oh, and suggesting you might prefer another candidate is also both sexist and a right wing smear.
This is what I've learned this primary season.

The answer is no, and the OP lists the reasons why.
