posting negatives about anyone else. I would like to know why I should support her, without using drawbacks or flaws of any other candidate.
Why should I support her?

Thank you in advance.

Where's the option for nenhum deles (a Brazilian friend of mind's take on what should be an option on their ballot)?

(94,362 posts)Hillary Clinton is a popular Democrat who's positions (pro-choice, pro gay rights, pro immigration reform, pro criminal justice reform, pro progressive taxation, pro environment) are both in the mainstream of Democratic Party voters AND attractive to moderate independents and suburban liberal Republicans. She brings the experience of policy making in the Clinton WH, 8 years in the US Senate and 6 years as Secretary of State. She has the political and financial support to take on any of the likely Republican candidates, as supported by consistent polling.
