Hillary Clinton secures Democratic nomination

That’s very fair.

I’m voting for Hillary not because I’m biting my tongue, holding my nose, or any similar pained response, but because I feel she is the most qualified and experienced person running for president. I think we all have a lot of baggage with her – she’s been a media figure for decades – so it’s hard to look at her objectively the way most of us did when Obama appeared seemingly out of nowhere as a political superstar. But I agree with her policies, her platform, and her statements, and I think that any vague chance of Trump being elected simply isn’t worth hemming and hawing over. I don’t think she’s an asshole, a criminal, a warmonger, or a horrible human being. I’m ready to move on and get this done. (Edit: I should add that I was enamored of Bernie, and love his ideas and think he’s lovely old curmudgeon. I am not enamored of Hillary in that way! But I am also pragmatic.)
