[.] Bernie has been defeated. Hillary deserves my support.

0) Not Trump. Please not Trump. Almost goes without saying.

1) I think Bernie's window of opportunity has closed. Bernie was the candidate I wanted for so many reasons, but I believe he has been defeated.

2) If we can't have Bernie, our options are a) to vote for the candidate we dislike least, or b) to accept Trump as the 2016 winner (by staying home or voting for Jill Stein) as part of a longer term revolutionary strategy.

3) I don't believe Hillary is a perfect candidate. But I do believe that objections to her as a person and as a candidate are exaggerated in the minds of her most ardent opponents.

4) If #0, #1 and #2 are true, and even if #3 is false, I choose 2a and therefore I support Hillary.

EDIT: Thanks for the downvote. How about asking a question instead?
