Letter: Don’t throw away vote

By Edward McAninch, Camas

In the 2000 election I voted for a candidate I didn’t want to win. In my mind there was no question that Al Gore would win the election so I could feel free to vote for Ralph Nader, who wouldn’t be a great president but had some great ideas that needed exposure in the debates. History showed that Ralph Nader didn’t get the needed percentage and Al Gore (with a little help from the Supreme Court) was defeated by George W. Bush. To all of the Bernie fans reading this, please vote, and vote for Hillary Clinton even if she’s not your first choice.
