There's one Supreme Court opening now, and a good chance of at least one more in the next four years. Who gets to make those nominations could have long-lasting ramifications.

Where in the US do you live that you don't have a bunch of state and local elections?

I had my share of those, but I have the feeling that the current candidates are equally bad. If I vote for one of them, I am responsible for what they end up doing to the country.

I think what GFK_of_xmaspast is saying is that, even if you think that all (remember third party!) Presidential candidates are equally bad, you should go vote for the other things on your ballot. Local/state initiatives, local representatives, etc.
Honestly, in many ways, those are likely to directly affect you _way_ more than the President anyway. Most (all?) states will let you leave parts of your ballot blank; just don't pick a President if you don't want to.

Seems like a fear-mongering advertisement with no relevant context on it's own. Wikileaks has a political agenda of it's own, so you still have to take their commentary with a grain of salt. It's particularly ironic that they use climate change as an example, what with Trump being a huge climate change denier.
Yeah, HRC has some issues, but I have no doubt that a Trump presidency leads to a lot of social setback as a country, which is a true shame given the progress women, minorities, and the lgbt community have made over the last several decades.

Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking only in the candidates and I completely misread what GFK_of_xmaspast said. My fault.

IMHO wikileaks has been loosing all credibility due to the way that it has been behaving on this campaign. I'm European and always looked at wikileaks as an interesting source of data (with some salt).
