5. Educate yourself on Hillary's policies
Nothing will put you in a better position to support your candidate than understanding why you're doing so. This election isn't just about making an emotional choice, it's about making an informed one about why the candidate you'll be voting for is right for you and for America.
4. Educate yourself on Trump's policies
Yes, it's hard to take a moment to truly focus on views that oppose your own, but just as you researched Hillary's views to know why you connected with them, it's important to get all the facts on the other side too so you know what kind of future you're fighting against. Even if you hate what you see, facts, figures, and information will be the best way to arm yourself in any discussion about why it's necessary Hillary claim the Oval Office in January.
3. If you're in a position to financially contribute, go ahead and chip in
You can give anything from $1 to an endless, mind-blowing sum, and sometimes you even get fun mementos like magnets or stickers that can show everyone how much you're rooting for Hillary. No amount is too small!
2. Try to talk to the people in your life who support Trump
This isn't an easy conversation, but it is a necessary one. Of course, there are situations where this conversation will cause more emotional harm than good, but if you feel comfortable trying to connect with the Trump supporters in your life and having a fair, fact-based conversation about this election, it might be worth the battle—especially because now you've done your research and are informed about both candidate's policies. If it'll tear your family apart, potentially steer clear of this step, but if you feel ready to take on the challenge, it could mean a big change for the better.
1. Literally go to a poll and vote
There's no better way to support HRC than to show up at the polls. No amount of not believing Trump will win will keep him out of office unless you do your part to take action. Now is the time!
