Hey, I voted for Bernie in the primary. It’s not like I have a bunch of great options to pick from here. Bernie is literally the only great option I can see. He goes the right way on pretty much every issue. On race issues, nobody holds a candle to Bernie, but it doesn’t look like he’s going to make it to general. The way I see it, HRC is just going to harm the poorest Americans, which affects minorities the most. She’ll enrich the richest, widening that wealth gap. Trump is more of a wildcard. He’s touting some tax policies that will help the poorest, and being strong on immigration would also help the bottom wages. I doubt he cares about the poor and minorities, but it seems like his policies will at least help a little, which is better than nothing or making things worse. There are good reasons Trump is actually winning even in minority brackets. So if the primary comes down to HRC vs Trump in the general, I’d think even someone voting on behalf of minorities should pick Trump. Of course, I’m not going to pretend that’s why I’d vote Trump in the general. For me it comes down to the stances I already mentioned. Anti-war. Anti-TPP. Anti-H1B. Of course, keep painting Trump and his supporters as racists… it’s working so well!
