If you lean left, the only presidential candidate who shares your values is Dr. Jill Stein. But she can't win. The two major parties have left — sorry for the pun — you and your concerns high and dry.
Certainly, Donald Trump is not your man. Though he has recently made noises to the contrary, Trump has repeatedly argued that wages are too high and that America's pathetically low minimum wage should remain at its present poverty level. He's a fan of torture. Trump calls the police — the police! — "the most mistreated people" in America. The governing philosophy that best approximates his ideology is authoritarianism. His opposition to "free trade" and the Iraq War aren't nearly enough to justify casting a vote for him.
Polls show Hillary Clinton heading toward the White House. But that prospect should make liberals shudder in horror. Like Trump, Hillary is an enemy of human rights and the struggle for equality and justice. But she's worse than him in one important respect: she'll send the Bernie Sanders wing of the party packing.
