I don't have luxury of expressing my pro-Sanders feelings in November

To The Daily Sun,

I admire Lynn Rudmin Chong, and largely share her political views, but I have to protest when she advises her readers, in her letter of Aug. 11 to consider writing in an alternative candidate to Hillary Clinton.

I, too, would have preferred a Sanders candidacy, but unless I had divine assurance that Trump would lose, I feel that I haven't the luxury of expressing my feelings at the polls. I have not forgotten or forgiven the Green Party for Ralph Nader's candidacy, which played a large part in dooming Al Gore from achieving the presidency, which the majority of American voters obviously desired.

I also would have to point out that the Clinton administration, despite not so dissimilar, i.e. personal, issues, was the best economic era I can remember. We need to accept that our candidates/representatives are only people, as we are, with feet of clay, and not lose sight of the horrific consequences of a Trump presidency.
