(11,833 posts)Many see her as offering a more realistic path toward progress, in reigning in the excesses of Wall Street and passing a more equitable tax code. And in defeating the republican candidate in November. There's tons of articles out there explaining those reasons. You can easily find them and read them.
Many in Congress have endorsed her. By doing so they're saying they're willing to put their job on the line for her policies and for her candidacy. They're saying they will work with her agenda if she is elected. You can read more to learn about why many are supporting her. You can read her web site if you're interested.
I'm not going to list a lot more reasons here because I don't think you have much interest in learning. If you did, you could make a list of reasons already yourself, without even thinking much about it. It's really easy to give five reasons to vote for Sanders and five reasons not to, as well as give five reasons to vote for Clinton and five reasons not to. Pretty much anyone who says they're interested in the left, or the democratic party, or social and economic and political change, should be able to do that. Unless they're just talking within a bubble of 'Yeeehaahs!' and 'Booos.' Or they really don't want to explore any of these questions.
I also don't have much interest in getting attacked with inane questions along the lines of 'Tell me, tell me the reasons! What are the reasons? Oh my god, Hillary sucks!' Followed by further closing, rather than opening, of one's mind to the possibility that someone might actually have considered some of your thoughts and actually looked a bit beyond them. And perhaps formed some of their own opinions that are independent from yet as legitimate as yours.
