Al Gore meddelar att han förstår de som vill mer än Clinton i klimatfrågan, men uppmanar miljöengagerade att ändå rösta på henne för att stoppa Trump. Detta dilemma - att rösta på något man inte vill bara för att stoppa något som är värre - är ett ständigt återkommande ämne i nätdebatten i USA. Nätaktiviteten för Jill Stein (Green Party) och Gary Johnson (libertarianerna) ökar.
Så här beskrivs dilemmat för en av dem alla, Misty Plowright:
She's
a 33-year-old IT consultant. Plowright is a Democrat, a Sanders fan,
and one of the first openly transgender people running for Congress. But
she is also a Clinton skeptic who is considering a vote for Jill Stein —
the Green Party nominee.
"They
talk about trying to court us, but it comes across as just lip
service," said Plowright. "Look at her VP pick. I mean, [Tim] Kaine? Are
you kidding?" she asked, incredulously. Many progressives criticized
Clinton for choosing a relatively moderate vice presidential candidate.
But
as she knocks Clinton's "conservatism," Plowright also worries that
Trump is a man willing to shred the Constitution. And, so she is torn.
"I
think there's one way where stop Trump at all costs would get me to
vote for Clinton and that's if I actually truly believed that Trump was
Hitler 2.0 and he was actually going to do that level of evil. If I
believed that, yeah, I'd vote for Clinton," she said.
But
Plowright points to Congress and says she doubts Trump will carry out
his plans, even if he is elected; and so for now, she says, she has "no
idea" what she's going to do in November.
