Really nice article today from Medium.com from a millennial laying out very excellent reasons to be with Hillary.
Over the course of the election season, the media has painted Hillary Clinton as a candidate who is out of touch with today’s millennials. In almost every debate or interview she gets asked a version of the question, “Why do you fail to connect with young voters?” These questions frustrate me because, while Bernie Sanders does have a passionate group of young supporters, Clinton also has a loyal group of young voters who would like to see her become president. I am writing this to offer my perspective of why I, a male, millennial, and person of color, am voting for Hillary Clinton.
First, Clinton’s resume is second to none. Before becoming First Lady and marrying President Bill Clinton, Clinton was an attorney at the Children’s Defense Fund and taught law at the University of Arkansas. As First Lady, Clinton led the charge to provide universal health care for all Americans. Although it failed, Clinton’s ideas and efforts laid much of the groundwork for today’s Affordable Care Act. As Senator of New York, she helped secure over $21 billion in funding for the redevelopment of the World Trade Centers and helped push equal pay legislation through the Paycheck Fairness Act and originally co-sponsoring the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. Furthermore, as Secretary of State, Clinton negotiated a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel and oversaw freed trade agreements with US allies such as South Korea. I could go on and on.

He is also dead on. Hillary has a long history of standing up for women, children, and fairness. Also contrary to the constant unjust claims of warmonger, it is forgotten what an advocate for peace she has been around the world. She presided over the diplomatic relations of over 112 countries while secretary of state.
Here are some more reminders about why she is an amazing candidate who deserves the nomination:
- Investigated health issues affecting veterans of the Gulf War, now commonly known as Gulf War Syndrome.
Just like Clinton demonstrated in Flint, when talking about the “-isms” like racism or sexism, Americans need more than just a speech. When I heard Clinton speak in Ohio, I could tell she truly cares about the future of America and she listens to our problems. The problems America faces are complex, systemic, and will require some time to solve. Hence, we need a candidate who knows the insides and outs of multiple issues. We need a candidate who has the grit, the experience, and the vision to actively enact change. We need Hillary Clinton.

Well said Suniel. The “grit, experience, and vision to actively enact change”.
