ADVERTISEMENTSome folks who identify as progressive -- and therefore oppose Clinton -- still think it is OK to vote for Jill Stein in so-called safe states. No matter who wins on Tuesday, the only hope to advance a progressive agenda is to build a unified, integrated progressive movement at the local, state and national levels. Trump is clear in his advocacy for authoritarianism, suppression of dissent and free speech, use of torture, and encouragement of hate-driven mob violence. Imagine that Clinton wins via electoral votes but Trump wins the national popular vote. Because Jill Stein does not represent an organized movement, your vote for her and her inevitably small total will be ignored, not just by the mass media, but also by natural allies among progressives.
