(19,061 posts)She is the most compassionate candidate we've had. She has spent her life working to help those who can't help themselves. Her record is one of compassion.

She's the democratic nominee
I think that she cares about the country and people
I like that electing her will break a glass ceiling
She's far and away the best candidate running
For starters.

(6,148 posts)I want a Democrat in the White House. I am afraid that we will lose Ginsberg and I don't want that seat going conservative. I have done some research on her, and I think she'll be an excellent president. I think her experience as a Senator and as SoS are a powerful combination, and it will keep us in a positive direction internationally. She's VERY well respected internationally, and that means a lot to me. I think it helps to keep us safe. And I like the idea of a woman president. All of that is why I'm voting for her.
I'm CAMPAIGNING for her because a Trump presidency scares the shit out of me.

(92,187 posts)card abuses, Against Citizens, and appointing judges against the abuses brought on by citizens United. Her positions on immigration, abortion, sensible gun legislation, foreign policy, and taxes
Affirmative action, gay rights, repeal the bush tax give always, and repeal tax subsidy for companies that move jobs overseas
Control of drug prices, and healthcare
Education, and college cost reform
For green energy, move away from dependence of big oil, for Kyoto
Family paid leave, and hundreds of other issues which I won't name, and to show the R/W and Hillary haters, such as those over at JPR, that their spewing of falsehoods will not stand

(47,209 posts)is lifting more of the next generation out of poverty than anyone can count. i think she realized a long time ago we cannot ignore how globally interdependent our future is. She is smarter on policy matters, tenacious and strong.
She will change the landscape of the American government for the better, which is long overdue.
I think she gets a lot of grief or disgust over staying with her husband, while we have brushed off every other president (except for Cater, maybe) who has had affairs. She was hated early for being "too liberal" and had to adjust her tone not to be ripped alive by the press. Now she is not "liberal enough" for spanking new voters who have no idea the history she has been a great part of. I see a lot of sexism in the double standards people use to judge her for following the rules and staying within the law. I'm sick of hearing about how she made too much money when she was out of office. I'm sick of people trashing her foundation. I'm done with the idiocy and sour grapes.

(9,265 posts)All the things others have mentioned, plus one thing she said in her speech at the convention: she will fight for *everyone* whether you voted for her or not. Have you ever heard a Repug say anything remotely like that? In their world if you don't agree with them you're worthless scum.

(4,533 posts)Social Security, Medicare, civil rights, Obama care are the four great accomplishments of Democrats. Any Democrat will fight for them, no Republican will. We need them.
She might also make progress protecting the environment.

Knowledge about issues
Knowledge about government and how it's run
Her compassion
She will keep the ACA, and make improvements as needed
I suppose I could go on but, you get it.
Oh yeah, Hillary is at ease around little children, unlike that "other" candidate..

(22,976 posts)Who (in the history of the Democratic Party) can match her unique breadth and depth of experience? Not many. She's beyond qualified. She will make a fine president and will represent a United States in the global arena that'll be perceived as caring, responsive and reasonable.
-Her Supreme Court choice(s) will be liberals-- or at least left-leaning judges.
-Her records on women's issues and education are extraordinary.
-It's gotta be said: She ain't Trump, and that's no small deal.
-It's gotta be said II: She's a uniquely qualified woman, and yes, it's (way past) time for w woman to helm this country.
-Plus, Republicans hate her. I like that, and am fine with that; the GOP's impotent rage is starting to be rejected by a greater number of Americans. All the more reason to VOTE and give her the Democratic congress she deserves.
