To the Editor:
Re “Democrats Try to Reel Back In the Disaffected” (front page, Sept. 16):
For the past 30 years, Hillary Clinton has been accused, investigated, questioned, subpoenaed, summoned, condemned through innuendo, wrongly and repeatedly described as untrustworthy by the media, and held to a higher standard than a man as she runs for president. And yet, over these 30 years, she has not been found guilty of a crime or misdeed.
Donald Trump is a businessman who has numerous documented instances of housing discrimination against African-Americans; of not paying workers and contractors agreed-upon expenses and wages; of lying, bullying, denigrating women and denying climate change.
Come on, people. Hillary is not a saint, and neither are any of us. We don’t have the luxury to ponder a vote for a third-party candidate. We can’t sit out an election of such importance. There is no “maybe I’ll send a message of protest,” there is no equivocation, there is no question! A vote for Hillary will beat back the dark forces of hatred and bigotry rising up before our eyes.
