There is only one politician in the race who has his record to stand by, who isn't corrupt and who hasn't been bought and paid for by big money and special interests.
Everyone is saying Sanders supporters are being stubborn by refusing to vote for Hillary. I think Hillary supporters are delusional for supporting her when there is a much better candidate in the race.

^This. The Koch brothers that have so famously funded climate change denial "research", the GOP establishment, ultra conservative social issues on the GOP side also invested heavily into the Clinton campaign through their foundation with a total of $889 million split between Clinton's and GOP establishment campaigns. Since as Senator Clay Davis pointed out Drumpf will really just be a puppet for the GOP establishment at this point anyway. Where are Koch and co going to look for ROI on their investment?
If Trump becomes president we'll see GWB 2.0 with some left leaning social issues and really no change other than that aside from the occasional crazy rant. He's a narcissist and won't really do much to form policy which he will leave to the GOP establishment. There will be a lot of show, but nothing really to upset the corporate investments including Trumps personal investments.
Clinton has already shown she will say and do anything for an extra donor buck and has so many business IOUs, including to the Koch brothers donations and to her Kissinger doctrine pals, that we can expect a fair amount of right wing policy under her presidency tainted heavily by corporate conservative interests including those from the payday loan lobby. How can the regular voter expect any type of influence on government policy when they've been so heavily outspent on both apparent sides of the political spectrum by the same source of lobbying dollars? Where then is there space for a progressive voter looking for a candidate who will at least attempt to clean this up?
