If too many people assume Clinton has the election locked down, and use that assumption as their basis for not voting for her, she could lose. But even if the assumption is right—even if you're a young progressive from California who believes with excellent reason that your vote won't possibly be decisive—the Tribune's line of thinking comes at a hefty price. This year the 'lesser of two evils' rationale isn't just an uninspiring appeal to risk aversion. It's about making a positive and important statement to the world that in America, a racist authoritarian can not get within a hair's breadth of the presidency—and that, if one happens to become a major party nominee, he will be defeated soundly." ~ Brian Buetler
